Combining a simple drawing style with dark and realistic themes, Forsman continues the tradition of alternative comics. He obtained a degree from the Center for Cartoon Studies in 2008.[1]

His self-published comic Snake Oil won the 2008 Ignatz Awards for Outstanding Comic and Outstanding Series. His graphic novel The End of the F***ing World, "a modern ballad of angst and murder",[2] won the 2013 Ignatz Award for Outstanding Minicomic and was adapted in 2017 into a British TV series of the same name.[3]

The End of the F***ing World, I Am Not Okay with This and Celebrated Summer were published by Fantagraphics Books. All his other works, such as Revenger or Slasher, were either self-published, published by small publishers, or sold directly to online readers via Patreon.[1]

On June 10, 2019, it was announced that Netflix would produce a seven-episode series based on I Am Not Okay with This starring Sophia Lillis and Wyatt Oleff. The series was created by Jonathan Entwistle and Christy Hall who are credited as executive producers alongside Shawn Levy, Dan Levine, Dan Cohen and Josh Barry.[4] Entwistle also directed the series.[5] The series premiered on February 26, 2020.[6]
