Synopses & Reviews
THE K CHRONICLES is a semi-autobiographical comic strip bycartoonist/rapper Keith Knight that appears weekly on salon.com and inmany other fine publications (like the Pacific Sun, Las Vegas Mercury, Funny Times, and more).
The strip is an unabashedly provocative mix of political and social satire; tackling such touchy subjects as racism, violence, and sex with a self-deprecating humor, personal honesty and light-hearted goofiness rarely found in a newspaper comic. The result is accessible yet subversive, compassionate and political, without being preachy. Described as a combination of Calvin & Hobbes and underground comix, The K Chronicles has garnered a large fan base that includes SpikeLee, Matt Groening, Garry Trudeau, Dave Eggers and Maya Angelou. What A Long Strange Strip It`s Been will feature over one-hundred K Chronicles strips (including `Life`s Little Victories`), plus some multi-page stories and strips that have never before seen print. The author, Keith Knight, is also developing an animated series for Nickelodeon.
