American Elf: The Collected Sketchbook Diaries, Vol. 3 by James Kochalka
5.0
I read these as fast as I possibly could as they had become well overdue, but that didn't stop me from enjoying them.
James Kochalka has really developed a gift for finding the magic moments of his day and making them relatable. I think these probably benefit from being in book form and being read in succession as you get a better picture of his life and his family, and it makes the 'what should I draw today?' comics feel more thought out than if you just encounter one on a page of print or on the website. The best side benefit of reading these all at once was that it made me step outside of myself to observe the little moments of my day and made it easy to laugh at myself. A+ sir!
