*EMAILS OF THE WEEK…

>Hey Keef,

I’ve been without my computer for the past month, but I wanted to congratulate you on a few great strips.

First of all, I loved the strip with President-select Bush smashing a radio playing a speech by Martin Luther King, Jr. The local listener-supported radio station in Tampa, WMNF, played that exact same speech. I think, given the times we’re living in now, that that is probably his most important speech.

I also wanted to congratulate you and your wife on her beating cancer. I know exactly what you went through. Ten years ago, I had a tumor in one of my sinuses. It was causing all kinds of infections, robbed me of my sense of smell and taste, and was affecting my hearing.

I know what it’s like to wait for the test results. Thankfully, like your wife, my tumor was benign. Also, when it was removed, my sense of smell, taste and hearing all returned to normal

I was praying for you and your wife. I’m glad life and The K Chronicles both had happy endings.

Your Florida Fanboy,

S.

>Just read the latest strip. (Almost brought a tear to my eye, but I certainly can’t let that happen, can I?)

Glad everything with Kerstin turned out OK!

Now, you need only take care of both of you.

>I can imagine you got tons of similar emails this
week, but I just had to say that I’m so happy that
your wife is ok. I cried when I read this week’s
strip.

I don’t know if you remember or not, but my boyfriend
and I came to see you when you spoke at that art
school in Cleveland in the fall. I had a great time,
and I just love your work!

Hugs to you both.

>I read your comic today and got misty-eyed in a totally un-manly way. As
someone who watched his Mom survive cancer and then had a scare myself, I
can totally identify, and I’m SO glad everything turned out well!

Love to you both,
A Longtime Fan

>I’m so happy for you and Kerstin! I hope she has a speedy recuperation and that the two of you are back out and about soon. Thank you for sharing your ordeal with us – that was amazing and moving.

Sincerely,
A.

>Keith,

Thank you for your cartoon in Salon, about your good news. I’m happy for you. I’m a writer of humor, but you’re a comic genius, and reading the Chronicles always makes me laugh. Your wife must be a high soul as well.

All best happiness and blessings,

J.

>Mr. Knight,

I’ve been reading your comics for years on Salon.com, and I just want to say that my heart went our to you and your wife when I read the strips of the past few weeks. It’s clear that you adore your wife. I just lost my beloved husband in October, so I’m very glad for you and your lady that you will not have to face that terrible emotional cliff.

May Kerstin continue to heal, and this be an episode you never have to think about again – except to remember to keep appreciating and loving each other, because life is too short not to.

K.

>Hi Keith – I love your work. I was so happy to hear
your wife’s OK that I bought some stuff on your
website to help you pay those medical bills.

Best to both of you,

M.
