Keith Knight's comics are simultaneously lighthearted, wild, and clever, and his great strength is the deftness with which he blends political insight, whacked-out surrealism, neurotic humor, and personal honesty. His comic strip, K Chronicles, runs in the San Francisco Examiner, on Salon.com, and in dozens of alternative newsweeklies across the country. Reminiscent of Calvin and Hobbes, Knight's drawing style is fluid and dynamic.

Get this Book,
By Rivkah Maccaby "Rivkah Maccaby" (Bloomington, IN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fear Of A Black Marker: Another K Chronicles Compendium (Paperback)
Listen, just get this book. This is not one of those reviews where I'm going to say funny things, or make up gorgeous metaphors for anyone's catastrophic talent. Just get this book. It's really funny, and you like funny, right? Everyone likes funny!I'm not African American, or a guy, and I don't live in California, and I'm not an artist, and I don't have a twin, but I can relate to this guy-- OK, we're the same age, and yeah, that helps, but the point is, he's just some guy. He's not married to Jane Pauley, or earning six figures, but really, he's better than them all.

Up with Keef,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fear Of A Black Marker: Another K Chronicles Compendium (Paperback)
Why this cartoon doesn't appear continent-wide, I don't know. It is sometimes sadly overlooked amidst a sea of junk: Knight is consistently funny, and his drawings are oddly satisfying. One of the only cartoonists around who can be political without an axe to grind, the pages are likable as a favourite children's book but still -- well, I share his politics and witty sociological observations no end. Even if you've read this weekly, buy the book: it is a good, thoughtful read as a collection.(No, I am not the author's mother.)

Another wonderful K Chronicles compendium...,

This review is from: Fear Of A Black Marker: Another K Chronicles Compendium (Paperback)
The very best thing about Wednesday is that a new K Chronicles comic is posted to Salon.com! Keef is exceedingly talented and I wish my local newspaper ran his strip daily instead of the mostly boring and awful ones they feature presently. Unfortunately, this will not happen in my lifetime - luckily there are books like this to fill the gap!
