For the past couple of years, Rand has been buying this calendar from Keith Knight’s website. Keith Knight is an awesome cartoonist–he does two weekly strips, The K Chronicles and (Th)ink. We got to meet Keith in Cleveland a couple of years ago, and he’s incredibly cool. Anyway, this year, when Rand ordered the calendar, he wrote to Keith and asked him to include a couple of special surprises for me:
How cool is that? Yeah, I’m a pretty lucky girl. š
Thanks Rand, and thanks Keith!
How fun! I like Knight’s stuff, too. I met him over a decade (?!) ago when he lived here in the San Francisco area. I think I saw his band (or one or another of his live performance incarnations with a group) once or twice as well. I’m happy for his success and his continued creativity.
I can’t help but wonder why this wasn’t under the tree…
only because erin was there when the package arrived, and she noted that it said, “keith knight” on the label, and it was obviously the calendar i get every year, so it seemed odd for me to not just open it. (if it didn’t open it, it would been obvious that i bought the calendar as a gift for her.) lame, perhaps, but there you go.
