American Elf is the daily artblog of creative wonk James Kochalka. His band, ”James Cochalka Superstar“ has put out several albums and he has a few children’s books, including Monkey Vs Robot. He currently spends much of his free time composing bit-rock on his Gamboy.

I was prompted to write because not only did he recently open the archives of his daily, extremely candid, autobiographical webcomic American Elf to the public, but also because he and his wife just recently welcomed their second child into the fold. He may be one of the first fathers to capture some of the, um, funkier nuances of parenting.
