*I'M BAAAACK.
Egads...February 2008 will go down as the busiest month in the history of my existence. So far. Two Collegiate slideshows. Top secret project. Finishing two new books. Wondercon. Comics/comics/comics. Gallery show. And moving to a new place.

*YOUR ORDERS ARE BEING SENT OUT ON MONDAY!!
Those of you who have been eagerly awaiting the new K Chronicles collection, "I Left my Arse in San Francisco", the orders are going out this afternoon. But if anyone needs it right quick for a birthday or something, shoot me an email and I'll express mail it. It's been quite a deluge since I've been gone, and I thank you for it.

Remember folks..Only 1000 of these babies. Signed and numbered, so order 'em right quick.

*WONDERCON WRAP-UP..
Best Wondercon yet, I must say. The show continues to grow with big stars (Steve Carrell, the X-File peeps) and plenty o' artists to be had. I was sitting by Al Gordon as he serenaded my knocked up wife and various other lovelies with his guitar and hippie crooning.

It was great to see all my old San Francisco pals like Andrew Farago, Shaenon Garrity and all the other good folks at the Cartoon Art Museum. Plus Age Scott, Mike Hampton and more. Coming from up north was Miriam Libicki and husband Mike...And coming up from down south: Rob Goodin and wife Georgene, plus L.A. comic fiend Jim Mahfood.

And extra special guest: Jeff K ramer a.k.a. the Noble Def G, my partner in the Marginal Prophets, was in the house doing a special promotions gig for the DVD of "Hitman". He got thrown out on Saturday.

Most were in Artist's Alley, which is the place to be if you're an artist who wants to exhibit at Wondercon. But the Small Press section seems to be getting better.

I did a signing at the Dark Horse booth and they officially announced the big ass 500 page book I've been telling you about for months. You can actually pre-order it now!! If it ain't their website, I'll post instructions soon.

At night I hit the C.A.M. on Friday and the C.B.L.D.F. and Isotope parties in Saturday. But the coolest thing about it all was that the wifey and I stayed in the hostel I used to work at all those years ago, where we first met in 1994. *sigh*

*I STILL HAVEN'T ADDED THE NEWLY FOUND DANCES WITH SHEEP BOOKS TO THE STORE YET...
I also found a few copies of Passion of the Keef! As much as I hate to move, I find all this crap that I misplace over the years.

HERE'S THE DEAL:
I don't know when I'll be adding those books back onto the website, but if you want to order 'em, make a $16 donation to the tip cup on my site and fire me off an email and I'll send out the book. $16 donation per book. Make sure you point out whether you want "Dances with Sheep" or "Passion of the Keef".

Anyhoo..I got smore to tell but I'm too tired to write. I'll write more after deadline on Tuesday.

Ciao!!

*FROM A HOTEL ROOM IN CUPERTINO..
..watching the HBO Hooker show and preparing for Wondercon. I'm signing and numbering the new K Chronicles books that just came in. Just had a really good slideshow presentation at DeAnza College. Great questions asked. I was a bit tired considering we drove up here last night and got in at 4:30am.

A few things: I forgot the damn stash of "Sheep" books. Also, my usual display will not be up at Wondercon, so don't expect to see the big red banner up in Artist Alley (long story). Just look for the sleepy-eyed bastard standing next to the pregnant lady.

See you soon..

IN THIS ISSUE:

-NEW K CHRONICLES COLLECTION
-KEEF AT DEANZA COLLEGE/WONDERCON
-COPIES OF DANCES WITH SHEEP FOUND!!

Dearest K Chronicles/(th)ink reader,

Thanks to everyone for their congratulations regarding the impending arrival of "Baby Gravy", a.k.a. the fantastical fetus of Keef and Kerstin. Yes, we are scared sh**less.

The first thing we're doing is moving. Not out of L.A. Not out of the neighborhood. Just to a bigger place around the corner, down the street.

The second thing we're doing is putting a lotta Keef Krappe on sale in the store so we can scrape up the scratch to feed and clothe and house the little beast.

So...Come on out, say hello and give me money!!

*THE NEW K CHRONICLES COLLECTION!!
"I Left My Arse in San Francisco!!", the fifth K Chronicles collection is on it's way from the printer for a grand premiere at the Euphrat Museum at DeAnza College in Cupertino Ca. and the Wondercon Comics Fest in San Francisco (details below). But you can also order it from the store at http://www.kchronicles.com/store/index.shtml
THIS BOOK WILL NOT BE SOLD IN STORES!! IT WILL ONLY BE AVAILABLE AT SIGNINGS, SLIDESHOWS AND KCHRONICLES.COM.
This latest collection covers our final turbulent year in S.F: Kerstin's tumor, my pneumonia, the move to Los Angeles. Also Hurricane Katrina and the instant classic "One Black Kid" strip.

I self-published 1000 copies that I will SIGN AND NUMBER. It's to raise money for the Keef Baby Fund, so git off yer duff and buy five copies.

*NEXT SLIDESHOW: 2/21 EUPHRAT MUSEUM/DEANZA COLLEGE
I'll be doing my world famous slideshow for the Visiting Speaking series on Thursday, 2/21 at 2:30pm in Classroom S-32 on campus. Following the slideshow, there will be a reception at the Euphrat Museum at 4pm, where you'll be able to view original K Chronicles, (th)ink and Beginners Guide art. The event is free and open to the public. For more info, see http://www.deanza.edu/euphrat/inthemuseum.html

*WONDERCON COMICS FESTIVAL:2/22-24 MOSCONE CTR. SAN FRANCISCO
Back in San Francisco for one of the finest comic book conventions in the nation. If Comic-Con San Diego scares you, Wondercon is the perfect place to be. It's a kinder, gentler San Diego Comic Con. I'll be selling the new book, plus plenty of other schwag. PLUS: There'll be a sneak preview of the 500-page Uber: K Chronicles book being put together by Dark Horse!! You'll find me and the Wifey chillin' in Artists Alley.

*DANCES WITH SHEEP FOUND!!
As I was moving krappe out of our old place and into our new one, I came upon a stash of the first K Chronicles collection, "Dances With Sheep"!! It's been out of print for a coupla years now, but I am putting it back up on the site. It's only a small box, so first come first serve. I'll also bring some up to the Northern California events.

UPCOMING:
March 14-16: Wizard World, Los Angeles
Late March: Book Release party, Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco
May 5: Something effin' huge that I can't really talk about yet

In My Mix:
-the new Indiana Jones trailer
-Mt.Gay Rum
-My new apartment's 2nd bathroom

OH!! I CHANGED ALL THIS STUFF WITH MY WEBSITE SO I LOST A LOT OF MESSAGES THAT I MEANT TO REPLY TO. NICKY G., TIM R., JEFF, AND WINDY, PLEASE WRITE TO ME AGAIN. SORRY ABOUT THAT!!

Keep on sending in those Life's Little Victories!!

Cheers!!
