Sketchbook Diaries Volume Four

by James Kochalka

The Sketchbook Diaries are Kochalka's masterwork. Sometimes sweet, sometimes twisted, always honest and often hilarious, they've garnered James two Ignatz awards and as well as a Harvey nomination for "Best Cartoonist." In this fourth volume, James grows a beard, gets his wife pregnant, plays a bunch of rock shows, plays a bunch of video games, struggles with the meaning of life, and draws a bunch of the best comics of his career.

About the author

James Kochalka is an American comic book artist and writer, and rock musician. His comics are noted for their blending of the real and the surreal. Largely autobiographical, Kochalka's cartoon expression of the world around him includes such real-life characters as his wife, children, cat, friends and colleagues, but always filtered through his own observations and flights of whimsy. In March 2011 he will be declared the cartoonist laureate of Vermont, serving a term of two years.
