ALERT!! KNIGHT LIFE DROPPED FROM LAS VEGAS PAPER

August 8th, 2008 | by keef
Posted In: Blog

I knew this would happen sometime. But not in the paper that my Dad reads!!

I’m calling on all of you Knight Life readers to send emails and letters and phone calls to the Las Vegas Review Journal and demand that they put it back. Two months is barely any time for a strip to make it in a paper. From what I gather from the feedback, plenty of folks enjoyed the strip.

The problem is, folks write me when they like it, they write to the paper when they don’t like it.

Here’s the contact info to write them to put it back:

Editor
Thomas Mitchell
TMitchell@reviewjournal.com
Phone: (702) 383-0261

Features Editor Frank Fertado:
FFertado@reviewjournal.com
Phone: (702) 383-0274

Las Vegas Review-Journal
1111 W. Bonanza Road
P.O. Box 70
Las Vegas, NV 89125

There’s a 9 year old girl in Las Vegas who is a big fan, and she’s getting her whole class to write into the paper. Nice!!

*NEW PAPER TESTING THE KNIGHT LIFE..

The Gainesville Sun in Florida is testing the Knight Life starting this week. I’ve got an interview with them tomorrow that should run sometime late next week. If you’re in the area, write in and tell em to add it!!

*GIGANTIC K CHRONICLES BOOK RECEIVING FINE REVIEWS..

..in addition to the Onion.com giving it an “A” and the Washington Post, an “A-”, cool comix magazines Tripwire and the Comic Foundry have nice pieces on the book running this month.

Tripwire listed the book as one of 15 that they recommend fro people who don’t read comics. An excerpt:

“Frankly, it’s a wonder this award-winning strip isn’t better appreciated as one of the great auto-bio cartoons of our time. Keith’s certainly on par with the likes of Joe Matt and Harvey Pekar…”

Nice!!

Dearest K Chronicles/(th)ink/Knight Life reader,

Holy @#%!! I’M A FATHER!!
I won’t bother with the details, but wanted to let y’all know that the fetus formerly known as Lil Gravy entered the building last week. He’s a big boy, and will be kicking my ass in no time.

Due to a few complications, he remains in the hospital. But we hope to have him home soon.

If there EVER was a time to order stuff, now would be that time.

*THE 500-PAGE K CHRONICLES COLLECTION…
..arrived in stores the day my son was born!! (great timing, cuz the book is dedicated to him Dark Horse has collected the first four K Chronicles collections and reformatted them nice and big, I added notes and sketches, and Kyle Baker did the introduction. What it amounts to is the must-have book of 2008!!
You can order the book thru my site (http://www.kchronicles.com), but I won’t be selling it outta my crib like the other books. So if you want ‘em signed, hit me up at the upcoming San Diego Comic Con.

Also keep in mind that the 500 page collection DOES NOT include the strips contained in the latest K Chronicles compendium “I Left My Arse in San Francisco”. So there.

*SLIDESHOW AT COMIC-CON (Thurs. July 24th Noon-1pm, rm 4)..
Not only will I be signing that big ol’ Dark Horse book at this year’s Comic Con, I’ll also be doing an all-new slideshow on Thursday, July 24th at noon (room 4). The panel’s called “FROM THE K CHRONICLES TO THE KNIGHT LIFE: KEITH KNIGHT” and .I’ll chronicle the development of all of my strips, present a preview of the Complete K Chronicles collection by Dark Horse, do a little drawing demo, and show some baby pics!!.

I’ll also be doing horrible caricatures to raise money for the Cartoon Art Museum on Friday July 25th from Noon -1pm..

SEE YOU THERE!!
REMEMBER: COMIC-CON GOES FROM WEDS.,7/23-SUN 7/27. AND YOU CAN ONLY REGISTER FOR IT ONLINE.

*KEEF CARTOON ART MUSEUM EXHIBITION
From now until Nov. 9th, the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco is hosting a 40 piece exhibition of my work. Starting with stuff from high school, up until the launch of my daily strip.

I hope to make it up there for an official opening in August. In the meantime, go check out the show and email me about it. Also, can someone take photos?
(C.A.M. is located at 655 Mission St. in San Francisco…http://www.cartoonart.org)
