Cartoonist on ‘It's Oola!!', In The City’, and ‘Queen City’ (yep, there’s a theme.) Probably drawing right now. https://karlchristiankrumpholz.com/

Oola is only allowed on the porch with supervision. Since it’s been so hot, she prefers the shade underneath a low table. Recently, I could no longer see her. A sudden panic that she had escaped. When I looked closer, a pair of yellow green eyes in the shadows stared back from an empty flowerpot .

A quick look at The Longest Wickedest Walk, my new collection of all the features that I did for the Westword since 2021. Comics about wandering around Denver, observing & documenting all the urban life I saw Will have copies at the Colfax Indie Bash event next Wed night at Pete’s Satire Lounge.

The Longest Wickedest Walk! Got the proof of my new comic, collecting all the work I did for Denver Westword since 2021. Comics about wandering through Denver, observing & documenting all the urban life that I saw. Oola seems a bit annoyed that none of her adventures are included in this collection

Just started drawing my next comic project, another story set in The City. Really looking forward to digging into this and hope to have something ready for my autumn shows. SPX? Cross fingers. More likely have something at Thought Bubble in November. Here are some pencils.

K & I just finished Widow’s Bay (short review: loved it!) The lighthouse seemed familiar. When I found out the series was filmed in Gloucester, MA, I realized it’s Eastern Point Light, a place we visited in 2004 during K’s first trip to Boston to visit me. Brilliant! But damn… do I miss the ocean.
