James Kochalka

Here's a nice little animated version of a comic book by James Kochalka, a sort of oddball genius. (I guess most geniuses are oddballs, though most oddballs are definitely not geniuses...)
Vanilla Ghost

He also goes by the name James Kochalka Superstar!, mostly when he's doing music (though it's hard to follow his movements precisely). Here's a video of one of his songs. Crank it up, if you can.

I read Peanutbutter and Jeremy a long time ago. Didn't realize that guy was a musician, too.

I know FCPL has a copy of Pinky and Stinky around somewhere. A lot of his stuff is really sweet and endearing, with this disturbing undertow. Some of it is definitely not workplace-appropriate.

Great stuff, but not for everyone/everywhere.

Yes, it's my life's work to become automatically identified as rocker Chris Long...
