Fantastic Butterflies

Magic Boy wanders drunkenly through a hallucinogenic nightmare world of Cancer Robots, softball
showdowns, dance parties, barbecues, time machines, testicular injury, and cake-baking kung-fu cuties!
A bit of a longform shaggy dog story, Fantastic Butterflies finds James Kochalka allowing
his art to swim down the stream of his consciousness, creating not so much a narrative as a
snapshot of the creator’s world. Not a story, but a 160-page portrait in pen and ink, as seen
through the delightful, distorted mirror of reality that James creates through observation and
extrapolation of his friends and loved ones.
Written and illustrated by James Kochalka
