Life’s Little Victories
Life’s Little Victories are the tiny little daily occurances that we should take a moment to celebrate. I suggest a fist or two in the air, and shouting “YES!!”
What began as a one-shot strip has blossomed into a regular reader favorite.

You find a piece of steak in the bottom of your grill!
You get cheap-o $5 tix for your favorite performer at the local comedy club for Thursday night. But the Thursday show is canceled! BUT, they switch the tix to Saturday night with no extra charge!
You leave the car door open all night and the car starts in the morning! (not unique, I’m sure, but it just happened to me.) I love your work, Keith. I’ve had a hell of a year but your work always makes me smile, if not laugh.
When you travel down one of your favorite roads and find that the city has patched that big chuck hole you have been driving around for months! :) Yippeee!
I’m 11. My parents get funny times and I love reading “Life’s Little Victories” strips of The K chronicles.You really should do more of them.My little victory: when I get home from school I(sometimes) find out that my annoying brother doesn’t have his devastatingly distracting friends over to keep me from doing my homework. P.S.-The email address is my mom’s.
Your strip on Alabama was out of line and shows a disconnect between truth and a bigoted and rather stupid thought process. No basis in reality and what is good for that state or the country!!
My grandkids love the comics. I don’t consider your strip published in the SFChronicle on Saturday 11/5/11 appropriate for them.
When I overhear my wife telling someone I was right.
My wife & I were watching an episode of Firefly (the tv series from 2002), ancient history to our 14 year old video game addicted son, when the boy happened to walk past during the credits, and said “Nathan Fillion!–hey, cool, he’s in Halo3.”
You find one last container of peaches from last summer’s farmers’ market in the back of the freezer. And they’re as good as you remember.
A speed bump launched my coffee cup out of my right hand while driving today. It flew through the air ( insert dramatic slow motion ) flipping three rotations then landing upright in my left cup holder..Tada!!!! ..Now to wash the coffee stains out of my jeans and off the ceiling, not a klutz, I am victorious and talented. Its amazing what feats can be accomplished when we dont know they are possible…. bet I could try to do that again every day for the rest of my life and never stick that perfect landing…but today – victory was mine.
This one goes out to the tired parents out there
My victory today- when you take your energetic
3 year old to the mall and run into your friend
And her kids- bam instant play date! I can rest.
My own little victory is when I carelessly left the newspaper on the floor in the living room and the cat threw up on the paper instead of on the rug. No picking up with paper towels, spraying carpet cleaner, scrubbing with a brush, or chemical smells. I just wadded up the paper and threw it away!
A co-worker walks into the restroom and catches you washing your hands.
You figure your boss has been drinking when he sends out a division wide announcement for funeral potatoe recipes. Then he tells you, your classic recipe wins. Small VIctory!!!
When you rent a small van hoping that you can just squeeze your possessions into and you get to the rental place to find you’ve been upgraded for free!
When you realize that your favorite comic & you share the same beliefs and values – guess that’s why they are your favorite comic! But dirty diapers as freeway bombs? Really?
@ Canyonman..
Reuse! Recycle dirty diapers! It’s green (sometimes)!
