I’m talking specifically comic strips, not comic books. The ones you see in newspapers , magazines and the web. Just wondering because I did a K Chronicles strip about how to improve the National Cartoonist Society’s annual convention and one of the suggestions was to open it up to the public. I’m gonna be joining the NCS (if they’ll have me), and I want to bring some ideas with me.

What would an ideal cartoonist/comic strip convention look like?

*EXTRA!! EXTRA!! KEEF WILL BE FEATURED ON “THE STORY”...
Nice!! One of my favorite shows on American Public Media will be doing an interview with me tomorrow, Wednesday, at 11am. I’ll be talking about my career..launching a daily strip and having a kid at the same time…and the downturn of the newspaper industry. Not sure if it will be airing tomorrow night or what. Probably not. Once I find out, I’ll post it.
*FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF THE KNIGHT LIFE!!

Who’d a thunk I’d make it this far drawin’ at least 9 comics a week? Anyhoo, thanks to everyone who has been following the strip and giving me suggestions as to what paper to try ‘n’ get in next. It’s been fun, and if I’d known I’d be able to pull this off, I would’ve done it ten years ago. And I’d be rich I tell ya…RICH!!

What can you do to help take the strip worldwide? Keep on sending in suggestions of newspapers. And write to them asking that they add the Knight Life. Pound the message boards with links to this site. And turn all yer friends onto the strip. And buy the first collection when it comes out later this year (more details to come!!).

*NATIONAL CARTOONISTS SOCIETY..
is in Los Angeles this weekend for their annual convention. That means every big time newspaper cartoonist will be here. I’m not a member, but I hope to crash the cocktail party like I did in San Francisco a few years back.

I’ll also be having a conversation with most excellent editorial and Zits cartoonist Jim Borgman, for the 300th issue of the Comics Journal.

Things are-a-brewin’…
