Did you know that Americans generate more trash than anyone else on the planet?

According to Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Edward Humes, the author of  ”Garbology: Our Dirty Love Affair with Trash,” nearly 70 percent of the trash we create (102 tons over our lifetime) goes immediately into landfills. Most of it is made up of containers and packaging, all of which should be recycled. In fact, he estimates we throw away almost $50 billion in squandered riches each year.

Check out Keith Knight’s cartoon on the subject, and view all of his terrific cartoons here.

My friend, “The K Chronicles” and “(Th)ink” cartoonist Keith Knight, launched a Kickstarter campaign earlier this month to fund his first graphic novel, “I Was A Teenage Michael Jackson Impersonator.”

The book will chronicle Keith’s high school senior year and college freshman year, when he performed as a Michael Jackson impersonator. “It was the best paying gig I ever had, “ he said.

With only  a couple of days left, Keith has just about reached his funding goal. Help him fully fund this project – Keith is a talented cartoonist, and this book promises to be a hoot!
