Dearest K Chronicles/(th)ink Readers,
Finally!! I can now blab all I want about the top
secret project I’ve been working on these past 9
months (the OTHER 9 month project)..
*INTRODUCING ‘THE KNIGHT LIFE’..
The Knight Life is the new daily strip being
syndicated by United Features Syndicate!! It’s
premiering on Monday, May 5th (Cinco De Mayo AND
National Cartoonist’s Day)!!
Honestly, folks. This is a dream come true. This is
what I dreamt about as a kid. It’s the big leagues.
I want to thank everybody who has supported my work
over the years. I hope you will continue to support
it as it grows and expands like an American waistline.
FAQs-
WHAT’S ‘THE KNIGHT LIFE’ ABOUT?
It’s autobiographical like the K Chronicles. But
different. It has to be, because of the format. It’s
a much more character-driven strip.
Sundays will be a combination of reformatted K
Chronicles and new stuff– all in sparkling, vibrant
color!!
WHERE IS IT RUNNING?
It’s starting up in a few choice places (Seattle,
Portland, Las Vegas, Detroit, the Boston Herald,
the Washington Post and more) , but not enough places.
THAT’S WHERE YOU COME IN!!
HOW CAN I GET ‘THE KNIGHT LIFE’ IN MY LOCAL PAPER?
I need everybody to send a polite email, letter, or
make a phone call to your local newspaper editor and
kindly request that they consider adding ‘the Knight
Life’ to their comics page. You can tell ’em that the
artist won a 2007 Harvey Award for Best Comic Strip,
and that their circulation will quadruple if they add
it. Don’t threaten. Don’t nag. Don’t be too harsh
about other strips. It may back fire. Please be nice.
Newspapers will sometimes ask their readers directly
about the comics page. Others sometimes do a test run
of strips.
BUT GET THIS: THE SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE HAS NOT
PICKED IT UP!!
After all the years I gave to San Francisco. Damn.
Definitely send some emails the Chronicle’s way.
They’ve been asking for feedback..
*Also, talk it up on yer blogs, podcasts, websites and
all that stuff.
*If you know any publications/radio/TV shows who could
possibly do a piece about the strip or mebbe an
interview, let me know!!
WHAT’S GONNA HAPPEN TO THE K CHRONICLES AND (TH)INK?
I’m gonna keep on doing them. Plus the daily. Plus
MAD and ESPN. With a baby on the way. NO PROBLEM!!
IS THERE A PLACE ONLINE I CAN FIND THE STRIP?
You’ll be able to see it at comics.com, I believe. I
will also be carrying it a week later on my site.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, FEEL FREE TO SEND ME AN
EMAIL..AGAIN, THANKS FOR YOUR HELP AND SUPPORT!!

*KEEF AT THE CHARLES SCHULZ MUSEUM/INTERSECTION FOR
THE ARTS
I’ll be up in the Bay Area in late May for a couple of
events. On Sunday, May 18th, I’ll be the guest
cartoonist at the Schulz Museum in Santa Rosa, from
1-3pm. I’ll be signing copies of ‘I Left My Arse in
San Francisco’. If you’ve never been there, go!!
It’s a really swanky place.

On Tuesday, May 20th, I’ll be sharing the stage with
co-horts Miriam Libicki, Ariel Schrag and Jaime Cortez
for a panel discussion about graphic storytelling as
part of a month-long series of comic strip and cartoon
based events put on by the Jewish Community Center of
San Francisco. It takes place from 7-9pm at the
Intersection for the Arts, 446 Valencia St. (between
15th and 16th) San Francisco.
Oof!!
