James Kochalka Peanutbutter & Jeremy

I commissioned the top drawing from James as a birthday gift for my wife, who loves his "Peanutbutter and Jeremy" stories. At the same time, as part of the gift, I bought a small gouache painting from him. The deal with James's small paintings is that (unless you commission them or buy them from him in person) you have no choice in the subject matter, but have to take whatever he chooses. In this case, he was nice enough to pick another image of Peanutbutter, the cat. They are framed together, which is why I'm showing them together here.
