4.0 out of 5 stars Some hope for the future of comics, October 1, 1998

I accidently discovered Keith Knight through Salon online by way of Tom Tomorrow. I read through his archives and had to buy his book he was hawking. And let me tell you it was hilarious. Unlike other weekly cartoons, Keith Knight doesn't try to be too hip or "experimental" with his drawing style. His drawing is reminisent of Harvey Kurtzman's "Hey Look!" and his stories are like Joe Matt's "Peep Show" single pagers. I'm glad Keith Knight continues to put out a new strip every week and I look forward to his next compilation. It makes for a pleasant read over and over again.

Keith, K-Squared, Keef... who is this man of a thousand faces? And why is he so damn creative?

The K Chronicles are one of my favorite strips. Worldly-concious, thought provoking, or for no reason at all. Tales of touring with his band, trying to find a vegetarian restaurant in Texas, or trying to get laid (never happens), are all part of this collection. Everyone will find something to relate to in his strips because it's about you and your neighbors. The stoner next door, the roommate you never ever see but leaves a pile of dishes for you to clean, your fledgling band touring Bar Mitzvahs and beer halls. Yeah, it's all in there.

And since Keef is A) not a giant MTV pop-star, and B) quite down-to-Earth, he will sign your book (or body parts) for you if ask him nicely. So, when he DOES become that unapproachable MTV pop-star you can say you knew him before the money clouded his brain and the creativity went down the toilet.

Don't forget to check out his other books: FEAR OF A BLACK MARKER, WHAT A LONG STRANGE TRIP IT'S BEEN, and RED, WHITE, BLACK & BLUE: the first and brand-spanking new collection of Keef's single panel daily comic, (th)ink.

Check out his website at www.kchronicles.com for more info and artwork. Also check out his band The Marginal Prophets (imagine if Frank Zappa and Digital Underground made a CD, it would sound so not like this, but just more the same. Right?)

Great book! I am a fan of Keith's (lookit this, we're on a first name base now) strip, and this book illustrates what a good comic Keith Knight really is! He laughs at himself, but does it so well...I really didn't want it to end!
