Confessions of a Cereal Eater #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection brings together the first three issues of the autobiographical comic series by James Kochalka, originally published in 1995 by NBM. The strip chronicles Kochalka's daily life, thoughts, and quirky observations with a deceptively simple, expressive art style that helped define the early alternative comics scene of the 1990s. It captures the raw, unfiltered voice of a young cartoonist finding his creative footing through slice-of-life storytelling.
"Slow Dance" is a quietly poignant story from Rob Maisch and Bo Hampton, capturing the bittersweet clash between memory and reality through the eyes of Rob, a man managing a shopping center who unexpectedly meets an old TV Western star from his childhood. The issue unfolds with a gentle, observant rhythm, exploring how nostalgia shapes our perception of the past, all rendered in the distinctive, expressive style of Bo Hampton—whose art, from interior pages to the layered cover by Hampton, Holmes, Plunkett, and Scott Hampton, brings emotional depth to every panel.
In "Back in the Saddle," Jo, a quiet man managing a suburban shopping centre, finds himself face-to-face with a faded TV Western star from his childhood—his long-ago hero. The moment stirs up memories of simpler times, but the real-life man feels worlds away from the legend Jo once idolized.
