Woke

When up-and-coming cartoonist Keef Knight has a traumatic run-in with the police, he begins to see the world in an entirely new way.

Being “woke” doesn’t pay the bills. It also doesn’t save you from awkward small talk at parties thrown by rich white ladies.

Keef and his friends head to an Oakland artists’ salon where he hopes to get in the good graces of the East Bay’s artistic elite.

What should be a quick trip across town instead turns into the bus ride from Hell.

After a year of rising as a prominent activist, Keef draws a strip that sparks a protest headlined by him. But can he live up to his new platform?

Keef drops everything to help Clovis deal with a surprise guest. With the Bay Arean on the decline, Ayana struggles to find a new place to live.

To avoid getting evicted from the Bay Arean offices, Ayana throws a rent party that leads to a realization about her readership. Keef discovers something equally distressing about his past.

Ayana takes the trip of a lifetime. An eye-opening revelation rocks Keef’s world.
