Keith Knight will be at the GooglePlex in Mountain View, CA today at 11 AM. Keef will be showing his world famous slideshow consisting of his favorite and controversial Knight Life, (th)ink and K Chronicle comic strips.

Which is also as good a place as any to mention that The K Chronicles website has be revamped. Visitors can now comment, purchase prints and more. Coming soon will be access to the full archive of both strips, along with multi-page stories and strips going back to Knight’s college days.

You may have to go there now to read the strip, because after more than a decade of posting on Salon.com, the K Chronicles follows Carol Lay’s Story Minute in leaving the popular website. From Knight: “It was made clear to me that keeping the strip on the site wasn’t a priority. I thank Salon for the exposure.”

The search is over, and to paraphrase Dorothy Gale, if we ever go looking for our heart’s desire again, we won’t look any further than our own back yard.

Warner Brothers and DC Entertainment has named Dan DiDio and Jim Lee co-publishers of DC Comics, while Geoff Johns has been named to the new position of Chief Creative Officer. Patrick Caldon,
a long-time DC veteran, will serve as Executive Vice President, Finance
and Administration. The one new guy on the team is John Rood,
who has been named as Executive Vice President, Sales, Marketing and
Business Development. Rood was most recently a Senior VP of marketing at ABC
Family, but prior to that worked at WB in consumer products. All five of them will be reporting to DC Entertainment president Diane Nelson.

DC’s The Source blog has all the press releases and statements from the principals.

The dangling question: now that the who has been answered, how about the where? Jim Lee and Geoff Johns are West Coast boys. How much more of DC will being going west too? Will it be Jim Lee handling the left coast and Dan DiDio handling the right coast?

Stay tuned…

In her 50+ year career, Barbie has had her fair share of jobs. In addition to your standard blue collar fare like McDonald’s Cashier, Babysitter, and Yoga Instructor… she’s also had time at the top as well, working as an Air Force Fighter Pilot, Olympic Gymnast, Surgeon, and an Ambassador for World Peace. But it would seem the leggy blonde just hasn’t found the perfect career just yet, so Barbie turned to the internet to select her newest career choices.

Thanks in part to your votes, America, in 2010 she’ll be giving a go at TV journalism as a News Anchor. And since the economy has made paying for her dream home a real burden, she’ll be giving a shot at telecommuting with her new found PHP, C++, and Java-scripting skills as a Computer Engineer as well.

We know Barbie will go far in her new job(s), as her previous experience as an American Idol Contestant, Candidate for President of the United States, WNBA Basketball Player, and Astronaut have no doubt provided her with a wealth of life experience and knowledge. We here at Comixmic want to congratulate her for her amazing work ethic.

Just one tip, if we may be so bold… Make sure to update your firmware before installing the ethernet cable into the proxy server, but make sure your TCP/IP settings are properly configured within your DHCP. And if all else fails, just text Ken.
