The Official K Chronicles and (Th)ink Website

*LETTER OF THE WEEK…

Hello,

I hate to ask but are you okay? I have not seen any new comics
recently to tell you the truth I can only read the old ones so many
times!

Hopefully the lack of comics is because you are on to bigger and
better things. Perhaps an update on your website would help your
fans cope with the loss.

Good luck with all that you do.

Sincerely,

M.

I think this letter and others like it are coming from folks who read my stuff at the Ucomics/Gocomics.com site run by Universal Press Syndicate. I am no longer uploading strips to their site. My contract with them was up in September. Both the K Chronicles and (th)ink will begin up on the comics.com site run by United Media sometime in 2008.

For those of you who have fallen behind on my work, check it out at Buzzle.com or Salon.com. But starting in just a coupla weeks, kchronicles.com will relaunch with all the comics I do right on the site, plus forums, new work, never before seen stuff and plenty more krappe.

*WHAT THE HECK HAVE I BEEN WORKING ON?
A trillion things, really:

Due in Feb: A new K Chronicles collection. It’ll be available exclusively from this website and I’ll have it at all my usual convention stops and slideshow gigs.

Due in May: My super-secret project that ain’t really super-secret if you’ve run into me over the past year. But at least two of you will be surprised.

Due this summer: The Complete K Chronicles. The 500-page Omnibus collection that’s going to be published by Dark Horse. With sketches, notes & commentary. Introduction by Kyle Baker.

Also Due this summer: My first kid!!

*ABOUT THIS WEEK’S K CHRONICLES STRIP..
A lotta hockey type things kept on poppin’ up in my world. (the New Years Day game.. the Canadian barista at my favorite cafe was talking hockey) a convergence of sorts. So when I opened up the paper and saw the story of Willie O’Ree, I had to do a strip about it.

And heck..You gotta find some perverse joy in Georges Laraque beating the hell out of people. Watch this clip til the end to see how polite he is.
