"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
My favorite story line on ‘The Knight Life” this year was about the “Vet Mentors.” As a veteran myself, I really appreciated the sensitive but still funny way of creating awareness of Veterans issues.
Hard to pick a favorite, your ideas are always fresh, funny and clever. Life’s Little Victories are good, but I just enjoy being surprised by the interesting approach you take on such a wide range of topics.
Any storyline involving hippie infestations is usually at the top of my list.
I think a big move for your talents would, however, be to think beyond the soon-to-be-dead newspaper industry and the traditional printed strip idea and see if there are other profitable “New Media” (yeah, it’s a trendy suck-butt term, but what’s a guy to do?) avenues.
Don’t know how handy you are with Adobe software, but have you thought about maybe trying some Flash animations like Ted Rall? The Knight Life’s own YouTube Channel: Think BIG!!
My fave strip that you’ve put out so far would have to be the one where the wife wears the Red Sox hat. Being a Red Sox fan and owning a Red Sox hat/t-shirt, etc. you really need to know your stuff. Any other team, meh, not really. Red Sox, yes.
Love the strip! I get it by email through comics.com, because the “Washington Post” carries it only on Sundays (a shame!) I want to comment on today’s strip (08-01-2009). While not a favorite of mine, WOW! it hit the nail right on the head!! My dad — who was born in 1925 — used to say the same thing this talk radio host says about gay people: “When I was growing up, the word ‘gay’ meant ‘happy’!! … I say we take back this word that’s been kidnapped by a certain segment of the population!!” My dad used to add, “They have NO BUSINESS taking over that word.” OMG, I used to cringe whenever he said stupid & bigoted stuff like that to me. Thanks for the laugh today!

Wordplay between you and your wife: always clever and entertaining
Dexter: always hilarious
Life’s Little Victories: never gets old

Keep up the hot German wifey story lines. Having lived iN germany, love the culture clash and you play it so well.
And Dexter kills me too.

Love the stories of your wifey at work with her whacko co-worker. Being a cubicle farmer myself, these ring true.
My old hippie friends and I loved the strips about the “hippie infestations.”
