This episode: Keith Knight!

Keith Knight is the Kurtzman, Glyph, & Inkpot award winning cartoonist behind the long running weekly strip The K Chronicles, as well as his current daily strip The Knight Life. His most recent book is Jake The Fake, a collaboration with author Adam Mansbach & comedian Craig Robinson. Check out his Patreon here.

We talk to Keith about Jake The Fake, moving to the south, homeschooling, why representation in media matters, making political comics in the age of Trump, and we get into the nuts and bolts of what it’s like to be a daily strip cartoonist while juggling the production responsibilities for his new book series.

But First: Mike & Zack catch up and get excited about Event Comics! No, not like Secret Wars, or the defunct 90’s comics publisher of ASH – instead, we’re talking about that mostly absent feeling of a single issue comic release feeling like an honest to god event. Spurred on this time by Zack picking up the new issues of Crickets and Ganges, we also talk about current ongoing comics Blammo, Berlin and Love & Rockets being in the same category.
