I should be in bed right now, but i’m still putting stuff together for Comic-Con.

I’ll have the usual: Books, CDs, Stickers, bags..But I’ll also have a sh**load of original K Chronicles, (th)ink, Knight Life artwork that I’m gonna unload. If you were ever interested in collecting some of my stuff, this is yer chance. I’m practically giving it away!!

*LETTERS/EMAILS OF THE WEEK…

Hi,

I just bought The Complete K Chronicles in a bookshop here in Perth, Western
Australia. I actually hadn’t seen your stuff before but it caught my eye and
seemed really funny in the shop.

I just wanted to say your stuff is *brilliant*, and you’ve picked up a new
fan. Thanks for creating such great comic strips!

Cheers,
G.

*LITTLE VICTORY OF THE WEEK…

I know you like people sending in information about life little victories. I
had one this morning on the train to work, but it’s a bit long.
In the morning, the train is pretty quiet. Most people are listening to
their iPods or banging away on their laptop. Occasionally, someone will be
having a phone conversation, but most people keep it pretty quiet.

This morning I was listening to my iPod when an older woman started having a
rather animated conversation with her mother. She was sitting several rows
from me, and even though I had earphones on, I couldn’t hear my iPod over
her conversation.

I went over there and asked her if she could either keep it down or go out
to the corridor (the area between train cars) to continue her conversation.

She simply replied, “Oh, get use to it”, and then continued talking although
a bit more quietly. I went back to my seat.

A few minutes later, she was again screaming at her mother on the phone, and
I again got up to ask her if she could keep it down or move to the corridor.

She gave me a dirty look and said, “Excuse me! I am having a private
conversation with my mother.”

I really lost it. I told her, yes she is having a conversation with her
mother, but it was no way private because everyone in that car could hear
her. And, quite frankly, her behavior and the tone she is using to talk with
her mother, is giving everyone on the train that she is a selfish brat who
has no consideration for anyone, not even her own mother.

Just then, I distinctly heard over her cellphone her mother saying “You tell
her, kid!”

At that point, I simply walked away, and the woman quickly ended the
conversation with her mother.
