James Kochalka is, without question, one of the most unique and prolific alternative cartoonists working in America today. His comics have been published internationally by almost every alternative comics publisher; he’s recorded several music albums under the name James Kochalka Superstar; and he’s developed animated cartoons for Nickelodeon. In 2011, he was named the official Cartoonist Laureate of the state of Vermont. Among his best known works are the Monkey vs Robot series, the superpowered frathouse comedy SuperF*ckers, the beloved Johnny Boo and Dragon Puncher series for children, and his magnum opus, the decade-plus span of daily diary comics known as American Elf. James lives in Burlington, Vermont with his wife Amy, their two sons, and their cats, all of whom appear frequently in his comics.

See James all weekend in the Atrium, Table 30 and at the Cartooning Workshop (12:30pm Saturday)
