Keith's new strip appears as third of the trial ones in the Sunday comics section on May 18th. Write into the Post to support it! He's got a child on the way! And he's funny! And, apropos of the controversy over the number of cartoonists of color earlier in the year, he's of color! But the important thing is that Keith's funny and an excellent cartoonist. I've bought every one of his collections at SPX and will keep buying them as long as he keeps doing them. And I've got his coffee mug with a (Th)Ink panel of Bush's Shadow(y) Government showing Bush with a shadow of Darth Vader displayed prominently on one of my comics shelves.
Keith (or Keef as he prefers, but I don't know him that well) must be reading this as he just emailed the following information:
*KEEF AT THE CHARLES SCHULZ MUSEUM/INTERSECTION FOR THE ARTS
I'll be up in the Bay Area in late May for a couple of events. On Sunday, May 18th, I'll be the guest cartoonist at the Schulz Museum in Santa Rosa, from 1-3pm. I'll be signing copies of "I Left My Arse in San Francisco". If you've never been there, go!! It's a really swanky place.

On Tuesday, May 20th, I'll be sharing the stage with co-horts Miriam Libicki, Ariel Schrag and Jaime Cortez for a panel discussion about graphic storytelling as part of a month-long series of comic strip and cartoon based events put on by the Jewish Community Center of San Francisco. It takes place from 7-9 pm at the Intersection for the Arts, 446 Valencia St. (between 15th and 16th) San Francisco.

Show up to both events and I'll give you something nice.

Keith Knight coming to Washington Post
In his newsletter's latest mailing, Keith wrote that his new strip will be appearing in the Washington Post, and went into more details:
Finally!! I can now blab all I want about the top secret project I've been working on these past 9 months (the OTHER 9 month project)..
*INTRODUCING "THE KNIGHT LIFE"..
The Knight Life is the new daily strip being syndicated by United Features Syndicate!! It's premiering on Monday, May 5th (Cinco De Mayo AND National Cartoonist's Day)!!
Honestly, folks. This is a dream come true. This is what I dreamt about as a kid. It's the big leagues. I want to thank everybody who has supported my work over the years. I hope you will continue to support it as it grows and expands like an American waistline.
FAQs-
WHAT'S "THE KNIGHT LIFE" ABOUT?
It's autobiographical like the K Chronicles. But different. It has to be, because of the format. It's a much more character-driven strip.
Sundays will be a combination of reformatted K Chronicles and new stuff-- all in sparkling, vibrant color!!
WHERE IS IT RUNNING?
It's starting up in a few choice places (Seattle, Portland, Las Vegas, Detroit,the Washington Post and more) , but not enough places. THAT'S WHERE YOU COME IN!!
HOW CAN I GET "THE KNIGHT LIFE" IN MY LOCAL PAPER?
I need everybody to send a polite email, letter, or make a phone call to your local newspaper editor and kindly request that they consider adding "the Knight Life" to their comics page. You can tell 'em that the artist won a 2007 Harvey Award for Best Comic Strip, and that their circulation will quadruple if they add it. Don't threaten. Don't nag. Don't be too harsh about other strips.It may back fire. Please be nice.
Newspapers will sometimes ask their readers directly about the comics page. Others sometimes do a test run of strips. The Sacramento Bee and the Contra Costa Times will be testing the Knight Life for a week or two, so if you're up for it, hit 'em with good feedback after they start running it. Remember: AFTER IT APPEARS IN THE PAPER!! I'll be sending an email out about it.
I'm hoping that it's not just another "Doonesbury"-temporary-replacement-test-strip as Keith does some of the best comic strip work today. I buy his books regularly and last year at the Small Press Expo bought a piece of original art. You can find more information on the new strip in this press release and at the United Features site.

New Keith Knight book out
Keith, who's been to DC many times for the Small Press Expo, has an excellent new book out - "I Left My Arse in San Francisco". I started it the day I got it and finished it at one go. He's got some of his hardest hitting political work in here too - just what one needs when one gets the Washington Post delivered. You can only buy this on his website; probably to avoid competing with the Omnibus that's coming from Dark Horse via Diamond this summer. I'm going to buy that too, of course.
