"The Knight Life is undeniably the best new laugh- and thoughtprovoker on the comics page. Not since Calvin and Hobbes has there been so novel an entertainment in the funnies."
- R.C.Harvey, The Comics Journal
"Point blank: Keith Knight is one of our generation's best cartoonists. If he were any funnier, he'd be illegal."
- Jeff Chang, hip-hop journalist & author
Is Keith left handed? Many of his strips feature him grasping via south paw. I am not saying that if he is, this will effect my love of the strip, but I am saying that if he is it will effect my love of the strip.
“More whining from the left” is one of my favorite K Chronicles strips… and now I see that today’s (June 19th) Knight Life also features Keef’s left-handedness. Way to go, Keef!
Do you think, Jeremy B., that your ignorance of the correct use of the words “effect” and “affect” will AFFECT my respect for your intelligence? You bet your sweet bippy it will. But I will still point out to you that he is probably using his left hand because it is his upstage hand. If he were to use his right hand, he’d have to turn around and face to our (the viewers’) left and that would look kinda stupid since action progresses from left to right in a cartoon. Note that in the third frame, as he is about to leave the coffee shop, he is opening the door with his right hand which is now upstage.
But I’m curious, too: are you left-handed, Keith? I’m a righty myself, but it seems most of my brightest and most interesting friends are lefties. And we all are politically, but that’s someone else’s epithet.
I once stopped going to a laundrymat (sp?) because they played the “lite jazz” station on speakers that you could NOT turn down.Nice folks, but the music was insipid and cheesy, and got on my nerves.
I found another one who played the local community radio station instead. What a relief!

Jeremy,
Yowza..I have always been an unabashed leftie.

Yes, I’m a proud and out leftie.
