Hey, Keith (Keef)!
Yeah. Hate to admit it. I am exactly that…53 years old and white.
But here’s the thing. I was never surprised that I can relate to your strip. What shocks me is that — as I can see now from viewing the KQED doc at your site, which I finally looked up online — you’re so young! I totally thought you were my age. Maybe a dude who grew up on R&B and was now totally cool still but at or nearing 50-something, somewhat settled in life.
It shocks me, not in a bad way. Just not what I was thinking from reading your strip. (Funny Times every month.) As I say, not a bad thing at all.
Hmmm. Has me wondering, though. Underneath it all, do you really have the soul of a 53-year-old white guy?
…just kidding!!!
As we all know, 53-year-old white guys don’t have souls.
Cheers!
B. (now even more of a fan)

Keith, ( re: Gang Sign strip)
I noticed you have used the word ”DISCERN” in your subtle drawings……….That is a Biblical word reference and term!!!!! (you have used it OUT of content)………… I DARE YOU! God is NO respecter of person’s.Judge not,lest ye be judged.You are very disrespectful!!!!
You are ignorant to the facts,uneducated and misinformed and are relaying that stupidity to the SLC residents and community!!!!! Further more,you are a racist,bigot,who discriminates and suffers from a bias stigma.You more than likely suffer various forms of mental illness health issues that require prescribed medication and intervention from a medical professional.
Just to make you aware and provide you with the knowledge you lack…………according to statistics at jails and morgues nation wide and globally while employed with the police department.45% of all cultures, nationalities,ethnicities who make up the gang population are ”NOT” that of the African American/ Black race.CRIME HAS NO COLOR!!!!! CRIMINALS ARE COLORLESS!!!!
And yes ,I did take a closer look……..at you, your heart is evil, wicked and corrupt with hate,prejudice and discrimination!!!!!! Try throwing up the cross ….it’s the only way to save YOUR soul! It’s color is red for the blood of Jesus Currently you yourself are in a gang…….probably ugly, a mormon and gay with a extremely small penis !!!! And there is a space in hell being reserved for people like you.
Have you even been to the ghetto or around gangs at all?????
I have, my family and I are surviving violated victim’s of their crimes against us THEY WEREN’T MINORITIES EITHER!!!!!
Do yourself a favor……… Know the facts and educate yourself, get informed………by the way ;” Oakey Dokey” was invented by a Black boy!!!!!
It is February, Black History month do your research before you go making a fool of yourself…..your ignorance sure made me laugh though.
Good bless you and have mercy on you!
B.

Wow. That comment from “B” regarding the Gang Sign strip should come with a warning: “May induce seizures like a banned Pokemon cartoon.” Good bless. ^_^

Isn’t it amazing how religious and political conservatives are prone bring up the sexuality of the people they disagree with?
Of course not. They’re obsessed with sex– especially their own.
Speaking of which, the “3-point signal” is also known as “the Shocker”; this meaning might or might not cross racial lines.
Thank you, and keep up the good work. I’m flashing you an “okey-dokey” and that’s okay because it won’t confuse my neighbors.
“probably ugly, a mormon and gay with a extremely small penis !!!!” – your mother dresses you funny too.
“discern”: Middle English, from Middle French discerner, from Latin discernere to separate, distinguish between, from dis- apart + cernere to sift — more at dis-, certain
First Known Use: 14th century
yup, Biblical reference
And to think I had the audacity to apologize for possibly-offensive e-mail I sent you in the past.
Keep the faith Keef!

Wow — the second “B.” totally lost me with that rant. (I’m the first “B,” hopefully not to be confused AT ALL with psycho-“B”-#2 just because both of our names start with the second letter of the danged alphabet.) Couldn’t read any of it after his first extra-long ellipsis [……….]. That’s way too many periods for my taste. And then I glanced down and noticed five exclamation points in a row and that word “Biblical.” Nope.
Not touching any of that poison. The post was a hate crime, if you ask me.
So.. Discern was only used from the 1400 AD forward. You may have used it out of context but not out of “content”. The bible was written in Aramaic, not English. SO, do not use any Aramaic words or even English words. What were you thinking?
Your fanboy, Barry
Um, WOW! a crazy person says what?????? Perhaps he and Michael Dunn could write a book, or deliver a presentation to “educate” the rest of us on race relations in our fine nation.
That entry also makes me think you need to be wary of new fans that show up at Comic-Con. (half-kidding)
Ha! When I got to “small penis” I burst out laughing and fell on the floor. It’s like they were playing the hater’s mad libs. “Hmmm, what can I throw in here to REALLY show everyone how dumb and small-minded I am?” Hahaha!! I could see making a cartoon out of that.
ps. we can see who clearly needs an intervention. At least you’re not taking someone else’s mental illness personally though.
“Try throwing up the cross.” I’d like to see HIM try throwing up the cross. That must really hurt your insides!
If I’m not mistaken, “discern” is also found in the dictionary. I, for one, would not hang around individuals who disparage the dictionary. One must be discerning.
As one of your “investors” (also in dictionary) I only hope your wife and family get back to feeling good, and soon. Let the work take as long as it needs. That’s an order! :)
Well, HAVE you tried throwing up the cross?
LOVED the Fan Mail from B. I haven’t laughed so hard since my cousin’s annual christmas letter came in. It’s always a joy, especially when read aloud; she’s got a Master’s in English, and teaches in a public school as a ‘missionary duty’, but won’t allow her own larvae to be so contaminated. Instead, they go to one of the ‘christian academies’ that were formed back in the Sixties as a way to sneak around the school desegregation laws. It’s always a treat getting her to explain that the icthus fish on her car isn’t a direct violation of the Third Commandment’s prohibition “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.”
Wow, that person really needs to be medicated with something really good and strong! Is there a therapy (inpatient) program for someone like “B”? Has this person ever been to your site and read your bio? Or better yet, met you? You only slightly winced when I did my high pitched “E” when we met you at Wonder Con! Best wishes to you and your family from the city that never forgot you.
B.’s message to you sounded EXACTLY like the emails I get from my older sister, except hers are in all caps.
@ McNabbem *shudder*
I could send you copies.
Mr. McNabbem, we might be related to the same people. While my family isn’t quite at faith healing and snake handling (yet), they might pray over your dead Delco battery when your car won’t start, and have a ‘laying of hands’ on the hood.
As a scientist (I’m a physicist), even when I have solid proof, my natural inclination is to doubt what I see.
My family not only believes what they CAN’T see, but tells me I”m blind because I can’t see it, too.
The result seems to be that I’m far happier and much less filled with doubt then they seem to be.
A sure sign that a cartoonist has arrived. This is what we should all hope for!
BiPolar Bear: “They believe everything that is impossible and nothing that is true.” Charles Dickens
Yes, Virginia — that was an extremely apt quote!
I once commented to my father that the majority of people on Earth are — to be blunt — sheep. His response was to note that perhaps that was why the bible used it as a central image.
My response was that ONLY sheep NEED a sheppard.
C’mon, the only way that ” B ” is gonna get his s..t right is to have his penis wrapped in BACON ! I think that’s in the bible…. or not.
I didn’t know that there was a circle in hell for people who are ugly AND a Mormon AND gay with a small penis. Dante left that part out I guess.
