American Elf: The Collected Sketchbook Diaries, Vol. 3 by James Kochalka

3.0

Amusing if uneven cartoon narrative of the real, quirky life of cartoonist/graphic novelist/rock musician James Kochalka. A lot about marriage and raising a young child in here. Some of the humor is bathroom humor and not appealing to me (or, I suspect, many adults) and some of the panels are in poor taste and/or dark humor (some of which I like, some I don't). The majority, though, is amusing and many panels are insightful or thought-provoking (as well as simply provoking!). Good read-alike for Life in Hell fans as well as fans of slice-of-life comics.
