American Elf Vol. 01 Sketchbook Diaries of James Kochalka

Kochalka invented the daily diary comic strip, spawning a grassroots comix movement that swept the globe, and his attempt to document the minutia of his life results in work that explores the full spectrum of human emotions. Drawn with verve and confidence by a cartoonist at the height of his powers, it is ambitious, hilarious, moving, and quite addictive! Book 1 follows the ups and downs of Kochalka's life through five full years of the strip (October 26, 1998 to December 31, 2003), and also includes 32 full-color pages of supplementary comics and other artwork. Book 2 reprints all the strips from 2004 and 2005, and Book 3 covers 2006 and 2007.
