Characters of Colfax just got a lot more.. Colfax.

We’re excited to announce the addition of local cartoonist Karl Christian Krumpholz as a contributor to the blog. Karl is no stranger to Colfax – you may know him as the artist behind the popular ’30 Miles of Crazy!’ series, where he’s chronicled the tales of the corridor for years.

We think Jason Heller (The A.V. Club, NPR, Author of Taft 2012, Hugo Award-winning editor) said it best when describing Karl’s work:

“Every city has its share of craziness, but not every city is lucky enough to have Karl Christian Krumpholz chronicling it. With wit, zing, and a surprisingly sympathetic eye, Krumpholz cruises 30 Miles of Crazy down Denver’s most infamous drag, Colfax Avenue, in all its character-haunted quirk and chaotic humanity. Beneath it all is Krumpholz’s poignant, even sobering realization: that he may just be one of those Colfax crazies himself.”

Check out his first comic, starring Priscilla Jerez of Tooey’s Off Colfax.
