""Czap's Magic Future Cleveland is hyper-diverse. People of color are the majority in this world. There's every body type. Gender presentation is all over the map. The body hair situation is impressive. It's a physical world, of flesh and blood. And unlike the kind of ""happy"" imagery that slides into kitsch, not everyone here is smiling all the time. Czap's characters yell and sweat, they speak honestly and openly. They cry a lot, usually with joy, but real hot tears. Their joy isn't easy, and that makes it familiar.""-Eleanor Davis, The Comics Journal

What if the future began in a small, queer, punk music show in the basement of a Cleveland, Ohio, house? Romantic friendships, berchic culture, magical solutions, kid think-tanks, and more make up Kevin Czap's vision of not-so-distant America. Ftchi Perf might not depict a perfect future, but its slice-of-life vignettes, drawn in a glorious, kaleidoscopic two-color palette, visualize a utopian dream that seems almost real, but perpetually out of reach.

Kevin Czap (pronounced ""chap"") was raised in Northern Virginia, studied art in Cleveland, OH, and is now based in Providence, RI.

Reviews for Ftchi Perf

"""The art is [...] perfect. Zine art but more invested into process, fine art but less distance from the audience. Erica Henderson vivid and bold with a hint of Tradd Moore wiggle. Jillian Tamaki, Rosemary Valero-O'Connell, where YA and raw real gently commingle. Radical softness."" --Doom Rocket"
