Playbackstl.com talks to James Kochalka about doing kids books now that he’s a dad:
Do you like doing the children’s books?Yeah, I love it. I’m doing a new series for kids with Top Shelf called Johnny Boo. There’ll be two Johnny Boo books out next year. It’s about a ghost and his pet ghost Squiggle.
Has being a dad made you shift your work towards kids?
Yeah, definitely. I had been working on Supef F*ckers for a couple years. It was something to have this really cool looking superhero book that (Eli) would really like if it wasn’t full of swears. So I’m trying to write something with that same kind of energy, but for kids.
