Description

Seamlessly blending sex, body horror, isolation, and violence with humor, color, and a seductive sense of design and composition (or, as the artist puts it, "love, gags, shit, holes, crashes, and bodies"), Cutting Season is a tour-de-force of distorted romantic abstraction: an unnerving and sustained howl, in comics form, that demands attention like a raw, exposed nerve.

Critical Reviews

Pratap makes haunting, vivid stories in a netherworld between gag strips and poetry.-- "The Comics Journal"

The vision at the heart of Cutting Season is sweeping and absolute, cementing itself as one of the most fully-realized--and most harrowingly beautiful--releases in quite some time.--Hagai "Solrad"

Pratap draws some of the most bizarrely smooshed and stretched out human figures, like the rubbery people of a Bill Plympton or John Kricfalusi cartoon got melted by Salvador Dalí... If you crave surrealism in your comics and don't mind your storytelling on the abstract side, give this book a look.-- "The Arts STL"

Throughout this short-but-lavish book, transition, transformation, and transmogrification of the physical body leads to questions that cut to the heart of identity itself. One of the most conceptually exciting cartoonists working today, Pratap also has the sheer drawing skill required to bring these singular visions of anything-but-singular forms to ecstatically nauseating life.-- "Four Color Apocalypse"

Cutting Season is a fascinating collection of work that defies easy discussion, and Pratap remains one of the most intriguing newer voices to make his mark on the medium in recent years.--Andy Oliver "Broken Frontier"
