Dearest K Chronicles/(th)ink/Knight Life Readers,
Hope you’re faring better now that the new year is in full swing!! I thank everyone who
has donated and purchased stuff over the past year. A year where I lost more than a few
newspapers and websites, thanks to the recession and the reality of the new world.
But things are looking up. I’ve picked up a few new things. Working on some big
projects. Plus I just did my world-famous slideshow at Google Headquarters last week,
and if I had read the nondisclosure agreement I signed when I checked in, I would do a comic about it.
I’ll check to see if I can.
In the meantime, big news:
*K CHRONICLES LEAVES SALON.COM/NOW AT TONIC.COM!!
They say all good things come to an end. But they didn’t say anything about
what appears to be a good thing, but then turns out to be a bad thing—So
I finally walked away from Salon after more than a decade on their site.
I did not get fired. I left because it was apparent they didn’t value my work as much as
others on their. Someday the story will be told, but right now:
*THE K CHRONICLES LANDS AT TONIC.COM!!
Tonic’s running the K Chronicles on a trial basis–go over there and show ’em some love..
GO TO http://www.tonic.com On the home page click on “Programming”, click on K
Chronicles. Rate it. Love it.
*THE ALL-NEW KCHRONICLES.COM!!
Yes! The Wifey has revamped ye olde website to allow users to interact like crazy! Post
comments and rates strips!! Post yer own little victories! Click on the button and
purchase a print of yer favorite K Chronicles or (th)ink strip!! Jump on over to the
Knight Life site for your daily dose. So much goodness–and a lot more stuff to come
(including a full archive!!)
I’m very excited about the new site–and hope to build it into an online community for
all my various projects, including music, T.V. and film. Visit often, donate , AND PLEASE SPREAD
THE WORD!!
*KEEF COMING TO SEATTLE AND SAN FRANCISCO!!
I’ll be up Seattle for the Emerald City Con March 13-14 at the Washington State
Convention Center. It’s a great Con where you’ll find a ton of webcartoonists
who don’t get out too often (and Leonard Nimoy). Git yer ass there.
Then I’ll be doing Wondercon in San Francisco on Easter weekend (first weekEND in April,
2-4). I’ll be part of an exhibit opening at the San Francisco Main Library featuring
myself, Darrin Bell, Morrie Turner, Jerry Craft and plenty more great cartoonists.
*KNIGHT LIFE AND K CHRONICLES NOMINATED FOR BEST COMIC STRIP!!
Two of my strips have been nominated for the Glyph Award for Best Comic Strip, including
my somewhat new daily!! It’s nice to see both strips nominated, but I’m pushing to see
the Knight Life get a little love. We’ll see May 15th!!

Hey!! If yer up in the Pacific Northwest, come by the Emerald City Con this weekend (Mar. 13-14)..I’ve got a sneak peak at my upcoming Knight Life collection due in June!!
Hi Keef,
Sorry to hear that things were not all rosie with Salon. You were one of the main reasons I kept subscribing.
Can we or should we lobby Salon to make you a sensible offer to return? At the very least, I think they should know what they have lost.
Please keep doing what you’re doing so well.
My Salon subscription is up for renewal this week, as it happens. I had been wondering what happened to you. I have sent them an email explaining that this affects my decision to resubscribe.
@ John..
Do whatever you want–just be nice!! I appreciate all the support I can get.
But my goal is to make this site and http://www.knightlifecomic.com the go-to places for my work.
