Today, Watchmen: Chapter 1 arrives on digital. I voice the roles of Detective Joe Bourquin (pictured here), Bernard, and President Nixon. I am SO thrilled to be a part of this thing. I loved the graphic novel. And this is a beautiful film. Check it out!

Thrilled to have been announced as a member of the cast. Roles yet to be disclosed. This was my favorite graphic novel back in the eighties. Coming to digital 8/13, 4K and Blu-ray on 8/27.
Things are heating up for 2024.
Apologies for nearly a year of not posting here on my website, but I have been very busy with life, work, creating content for my Instagram, and putting together my first-ever BOOK concerning all my years as an unhinged cartoonist…dating all the way back to childhood.
The book is entitled Max Koch Draws: A Crude Retrospective and my goal is to have it available for sale by Fall of 2024. This has been a real passion project for me and I am just so damn excited to get this thing out there.
In other news, my wife Nichole and I will be traveling to Scotland and Ireland next month for the first time. We’ve been saving and planning for this dream trip for years and I simply cannot wait to assume the role of a true and sincere tourist. (I did that 23 and Me deal and my DNA came back 37% Irish. Hope that helps me out there?)
Speaking of roles, voiceover gigs have definitely picked up for me and soon I will be alerting you to some very cool projects I got to work on. But until then, click the pic below to check out the latest commercial campaign involving a certain cheetah you may know.
Thank you for reading and cheers!

How the hell are ya?
This week I made a bit of a return to YouTube after a 4 year hiatus. Mainly because I was a little saddened that they had severed the partner program in 2016. Well, now I’m over it as I appear to be a partner again. And while I was mainly focusing on using my Instagram for content, I realized that videos longer than a minute really belong on YouTube or Vimeo so there’s no disruption in the flow of the thing. Plus I’m not nearly as reactive as I used to be to the occasional negative comment or insult. A pandemic and a coupla existential crises will do that to a man. So while I will still continue to post new vids and clips from the past on my Insta as a sort of “digital gallery” of my creative (and sometimes personal) life here on good ol’ exhausted Planet Earth…I am happy to say that I will also be uploading regularly to YouTube whenever the urge strikes me.
Case in point, I have a new series of Tony Soprano-related vids I am making called “Tony’s Tavern“. The tag line being: What if the world’s greatest wiseguy was living a new life? With PUPPETS! I uploaded all seven of them (so far) to YouTube this week and it appears to be going very well, knock on my own head. I do enjoy making these because I can focus on channeling Tony as a bartender running his own joint, stuck in a kind of purgatory. But I can also include puppets and/or original characters…and of course, old standbys like “Bob De Niro” and “Jack Nicholson”. Look, it’s ALL because I love to make people laugh or cry. And right now we need all the damn laughs and tears of catharsis we can get.
Finally, I just posted a new video today of me channeling my all-time favorite writer, Charles Bukowski. Click the pic of me as him below and GO. And please…take care out there.
WINE PAIRING: My dear friend and downstairs neighbor Bekka is preparing a red sangria for me as I type this…
Man, two and a half years of writing, filming, and editing…
Fourteen weeks uploading every Friday…
Is finished.
The fourteenth (season finale) episode of “Red Leaf Complex” – an original horror series by Brett Pearsons and myself – has arrived. All thirteen other episodes are also available on my Vimeo channel.
Thank you for watching and please spread the word on this one, if you like it.
Most of all, take care of yourselves.
