ABOUT KOHD

Knocking on Heaven’s Door began in 2007 as a blog on a social networking site, when then-comedian, Tommy Blaze, began posting snippets of his imaginary conversations with God. Within these dialogues, God was often funny, poignant and, perhaps most notably, a friend. Upon recruiting cartoonist, Nate Fakes (whom Blaze has still yet to meet in person), those conversations evolved into a comic strip.

Author

After three and a half decades on tour as a stand-up comedian, Tommy Blaze now enjoys the simple pleasures of retirement; weeding in the backyard, living almost exclusively in pajamas and, from time to time, contemplating humanity’s relationship with its divine, cosmic creator. Sometimes while weeding.
