This is the amazingly hilarious bio-fiction strip the K-Chronicles in one giant phone book sized editon! True, it is a bit large to leave next to the toilet for the unsuspecting to peruse, but it is worth it to be able to read the strips in all their detailed blown-up grandeur. Keef, our humble narrator, leads us through the trials and tribulations of being a black male East Coast transplant in San Francisco, embracing his love of Michael Jackson, grooving out on the stage as a singer in his band the Marginal Prophets, living with a varied succession of roomates and continually exploring the boundaries of comics by breaking walls and occasional crass humor. Long live the K Chronicles!

I've been savoring this one. The chuckles are especially tasty after long, grey days in a tiny windowless cubicle. Highly recommended!

Complete except for Go East, Young Fam! (K Chronicles #7, 2016), which was published 8 years after this.

Yeah! Finished it. This is a massive collection of one of the most hilarious cartoonists working today. It has a great mix of political satire, race commentary, slapstick, and just plain weirdness. But what's the best about Keith Knight is his focused yet hyperactive style, that makes his work look like the most genius doodling you've ever seen. First and foremost, he draws some of the most funny images and gags imaginable, and often sneaks in little jokes and goofy stuff in the corners of panels. Highly recommended! You can find his stuff at http://www.salon.com/comics/knig/2009... and buzzle.com in the Comics section, but this collections final pages really catch him in his prime, when I first discovered him.

Funny and clever. Some of the jokes fall flat, but the vast majority of the strips are winners.
This one was of course my favorite:

Keith Knight is one of the most interesting cartoonists still working in newspapers. This is a collection of his weekly semi-autobiographical strip, The K Chronicles. It's generally insightful and funny, but he's also not afraid to address sad and depressing subjects seriously on occasion. His art is wonderfully fluid and conveys his ideas and his tone very well.

Collecting every prior-released book of the hilarious, opinionated autobiographical comic strip into one massive tome, "The Complete K Chronicles" is a great read for anyone who enjoys slice-of-life comedies, political cartoons, race relations, sheep, immature humor, enormous black markers, weird hair squiggles, dreadlocks, colon exhibits, Star Wars, Boston...

Keith Knight has redefined the newspaper comic strip. Very edgy and real humor taken from his life, sprinkled lightly with politcal commentary. Highly recommend.

Keith Knight is my new comic favorite--he writes The K Chronicles and came up with a shtick called Life's Little Victories that help me find positive moments in my daily dutiful routine.

Finally, someone takes a stand against chains like Hardrock Cafe. How witty. What a bad boy.

Some is very funny. Some is really insightful. Most is pretty dull.
