About the Book

Everything Takes Forever is a collection of cartoonist and illustrator Victor Kerlow's ink-and-wash comics that blur the quotidian with the absurd. In Kerlow's world, tacos and toast have bodies and smoke, tiny men who can no longer copulate or consume sandwiches deal with existential angst, and dream logic pervades.

About the Author :
Manhattan-born and based cartoonist and illustrator Victor Kerlow has self-published a number of comics and has worked with a diverse range of clients including The New Yorker, The New York Times, Fantagraphics, MTV, IFC Films, Random House, The Believer, Bloomberg, and many more. Kerlow also draws weekly illustrations for The Metro Diary in The New York Times.

Review :
"Bodies are both sexualized forms and sacks of meat in Kerlow's cartoons; dreams range from the fantastic to the deadly dull; things that are horrific and transformations that are monstrous all carry a quotidian essence that makes them part of business as usual. That sense of understatement, above all else, is what makes these comics funny." -- Rob Clough, High-Low "This collection of comics and drawings by this New Yorker and New York Times illustrator is a showcase of talent - featuring varying styles and subject matter, and including, of course, Taco Head." -- Benn Ray, Largehearted Boy "Characters with tacos for heads compete with the ultimate embodiment of mini-me for the title of oddest Kerlow creation in 60-odd pages of some of the most gloriously freaky comics it's been my pleasure to be subjected to this year...An unmissable, eccentric oddity just perfect to enjoy with a pint or three of your favourite tipple..." -- Andy Oliver, Broken Frontier Managing Editor and contributor to Paul Gravett's 1001 Comics You Must Read Before You Die "Everything Takes Forever? Pshaw. More like 'Victor ... Kerlow Forever!'" -- Tucker Stone, The Comics Journal "Everything Takes Forever is a great display of balance between absurdity and humor without going too far... Koyama has published another solid release -- we could definitely use more comics like these." -- Kevin Cortez, Drawn Words Praise for Victor Kerlow's Small Victories "The art of Victor Kerlow has been featured in The New Yorker, the NY Times, and many other outlets. His website contains not only his lovely illos but many of his comics, which are also collected in Small Victories, a volume he was kind enough to send us a review copy of. While the art is immediately stunning, stories of danger in toilets, lumberjack exploits and other mysteries make for a fine assemblage of comics." - Comics Beat "If you stand back and look at it all, these Small Victories say life is funny and shit and then maybe you look like Patti Smith but then maybe you don't but who cares." - Hayley Campbell, The Comics Journal
