Kochalka spent six years working in a Chinese restaurant in Winooski, Vermont and eventually left that job to devote his full energy to cartooning and music. In January of 2006, Kochalka announced that the song "Hockey Monkey," recorded with the band The Zambonis, had been chosen as the theme song to the upcoming Fox TV series The Loop. If the series is a success, this seems likely to bring new levels of awareness about Kochalka and his music, and in recognition of that fact Rykodisc decided to re-release Kochalka's Greatest Hits CD Our Most Beloved.

He appears in an upcoming documentary film called Adventures Into Digital Comics. The film discusses, among other things, the crash of the comic book industry in the 90s and the emergence of webcomics.

Comics and Graphic Novels

---

His comics are noted for their blending of the real and the surreal. Largely autobiographical, Kochalka's cartoon expression of the world around him includes such real-life characters as his wife, child, cat, friends and colleagues, but always filtered through his own observations and flights of whimsy.
