Product Description
Product Description
Kochalka's diary strip has always been entertaining, but this might be the most action-packed volume of all. His neighbor's car gets firebombed, his little son Eli learns how to invent his own swears (like "pump duck"), and James gets a gun pointed at his face. Most dramatic of all, this volume introduces a new character - a new little baby Kochalka! This collection prints all the diary strips from 2006-2007 in gorgeous full-color, including numerous strips that never appeared online.

Book 3 of James Kochalka's life's work American Elf picks up where he left off from the second book beginning with January 1 2006 to 31 December 2007. The idea for these strips is simple: draw a strip every day. These range from 1 panel to 4 and have been in colour now for the last few years.
In this book James and Amy, their son Eli and their cat Spandy expand their family with the addition of Oliver Jonco Kochalka, James' druggy neighbours' car gets firebombed, James acts in a feature film, he teaches art classes at the local college, he rocks out with his new album "Spread Your Evil Wings and Fly" which doesn't sell well so his label Rykodisc drops him, he goes on holiday with his father who has Alzheimer's, and he goofs around the house with Eli, who also contributes to the daily strips and begins attending pre-school. He's also a video games fanatic who gets a Wii and a DS and spends lots of time playing both (even when Amy goes into labour).
The strips have a charm all their own: some days are detailed with lots of words and events, others are simply one panel of a outdoors scene. Either way it's a compelling read and a great comic. The book is printed on high quality paper and looks really good with the wide array of colours used. Highly recommended comic , ready for American Elf Book 4 please James!
Also James puts up strips every day on his website [...] so check it out.

I'm a huge fan of the series. I don't read the online strip, I'd rather read them in printed form. These are absolutely great reads.
