, he lives in the Pacific Northwest with his wife Sara Bee Jensen, a designer. His day job is Editorial Director for Heavy.com. In parallel, he is a cartoonist with several works published, such as his 1998-1999 strip "A Short and Happy Life" in The Stranger (Seattle weekly), various short comics in anthologies (Top Shelf, About Comics, and Alternative Comics), and more on the way: his 300-page graphic novel Red Eye, Black Eye, after being serialized from 2002 to 2005 as a webcomic on Serializer, was released in January 2007 by Alternative Comics.

Jensen has appeared on a number of television programs, including The People Of New York Vs. Jerry Sadowitz in 2001, Blind Date in 2005 (where he alleged that he had appeared in a string of homosexual porn movies), and Cash Cab in 2006. He also was featured on bottles of "Fruit Punch" Jones Soda.

First name confusion

K. Thor Jensen's first name remains unclear because he's provided different ones in interviews:

• "Kristopher" on an alleged high school disciplinary record he provided.
• "Kristopher" on his mid-2006 wedding invitation.
• "Killer" in a late 2006 interview, allegedly his parents' homage to "The Killer" (nickname of Jerry Lee Lewis).
• "Krishna", "Kosher", "Kwality", etc., alleged by him in older interviews

Jensen's middle name was, according to him, his father's homage to the Marvel Comics superhero "The Mighty Thor".

Red Eye, Black Eye is a graphic novel by Jensen, published by Alternative Comics. The book recounts Jensen's sixty day, 10,000 mile trip across the United States via Greyhound bus. Starting shortly after the September 11th, 2001 attacks, Jensen's journey takes him on a circuitous route across America, staying primarily in the homes of people he met on the Internet, often through the web site he co-founded, Portal of Evil.Jensen visits various landmarks, both national (Plymouth Rock, Disneyland) and local (The Varsity in Atlanta, a burnt-out "wilderness preserve" in rural Alabama), smuggles drugs across the Mexican border, and is dragged behind a pickup truck while riding a burning couch. Throughout his journey, Jensen documents stories told to him by his hosts, their friends, and other people he meets, capturing tales of deviant sex, jobs gone awry, and a host of minor triumphs and tragedies.
