The first graphic novel by Harvey, Glyph and Inkpot Award-winning cartoonist Keith Knight ("K Chronicles", "Knight Life", "(th)ink")
THE SKINNY
This is ALL-NEW MATERIAL that will take two years to complete. I will post my progress on a blog that's accessible to all who donate. I will travel back to Boston for research purposes (& lobster rolls). I will hire the graphic designer who did my early K Chronicles books. I will self-publish and seek distribution through one of the fine publishers I've worked with in the past.
Thanks in advance to everyone who donates (especially my mom)! And thanks to Kickstarter for taking this D.I.Y. thing to a whole 'nother level!
Cheers!
Keith Knight (gentleman cartoonist)
FAQ

That is the time I estimate that the graphic novel will be delivered to you. This is not a reprint! This is all-new work I'll be doing in addition to my regular strips! Backers will be able to follow my progress through the blog on this site. The rest of the rewards, like K Chronicles and (th)ink books, original strip art, my evil twin sister's phone call, etc. will be sent out in a timely fashion to tide you over.

I posted some samples of my weekly and daily comics strips in Project update #4. I will post more work over the next few days. You can also visit my websites:
