The Official K Chronicles and (Th)ink Website

*HAPPY HOLIDAYS, Y’ALL!!

hope you are having a fine holiday season. and let’s hope 2005 will be an improvement over this past year.

not that it was all bad. it was my most successful year as a cartoonist ever. and a lot of cool things went down in 2004 (prince on tour, “sideways”, “the incredibles”, n’awlins jazzfest, etc.)…but i don’t want to be another “best of” type of thing.

i will be starting off 2005 on the right foot. i’ll be going to paris for a couple of weeks..then i’ll be in park city, utah with the Margianl Prophets for a show or two. will i see you there?

*LETTERS OF THE WEEK:

(from l.b. about the military recruiting strip:)

“You must have drawn that cartoon weeks ago. Just a few days ago the administration announced expanded recruiting plans.

As I understand it, there are a lot of young people opposed to the idea of being blown up by suicide bombers in a backwater (or backsand) country for nebulous reasons.

Was this fortuitous timing, or are administrative missteps so common that you can count on being right whenever you pick on these guys?”

(i would say both on that las t question.-k.)

(from k. about the last little victories strip:)

Ah, Keef…

… what else is there to say? Verily, you rock, and with awesome consistency. Don’t you ever have a bad day at the ol’ drawing board? Sure doesn’t seem so!

“But then you remember- you live in Canada!” Lucky for me, I do. Toronto. Where I am a professional caricaturist. I make most of my living as an entertainment caricaturist, being sent out by various of my agents to bar mitzvahs, corporate parties, trade shows and the odd bachelorette party. The rest of my dough comes from studio assignments: sometimes commissioned cartoony portraits, sometimes making corsets and assorted kink couture for the wealthier discerning pervs of this fine city. Hey, it’s a livin’.

All this is by way of letting you know that there’s some oomph behind the best compliment one artist can offer another, which is this: almost everytime I catch the latest K Chronicles, I not only find myself nodding in agreement, but think…

“DAMN, I wish I drew that!”

Continue to make us laugh and think, Keith. The art world’s a finer place with you in it.

cheers,

k.

Love your comics…I know someone has probably mentioned this, but that last frame looks like it can be taken a couple of ways. I have to know. Was it meant to be a bj? Have a happy Thanksgiving.
