Free Elf
James Kochalka draws a lot. It’s pretty hard not to bump into his work if you have even a passing interest in small press comix. I’ve never felt a strong urge to check out his stories before, but now I can’t stop reading his diary comic. In what can only be described as a stroke of marketing genius, he has just gone done made the entire online archive of “American Elf: the Sketchbook Diary of James Kochalka” available for free. Previously only available under a paid subscription, it’s no surprise that this giveaway has increased his readership. I stand testament.
Check it out if you’re a fan of Drew Weing’s Journal Comic, Jeffrey Brown’s sordid autibiographication, Donation Derby, Jeffrey Rowland’s Overcompensating, or satirical narcissism in general.
