Loading...KEEF ON TOTALLY BIASED IN OCT!!
Great news! Your most humble gentleman cartoonist is going to be interviewed on the FXX hit show Totally Biased with W.Kamau Bell next month!! So psyched about this because Kamau and I go way back to my San Francisco days..even did a show with him at the now defunct legendary comedy club the Purple Onion.
Bad news! I gotta pay for my flight out there.
Great news! All I need are ten more subscribers to the Keith Knight Round Table Cartoon Subscription service! Right now, members are getting the inside skinny on a national commercial the Knight family shot a few weeks back, that should be airing starting the next week or two.
Subscribe you fools!! Right here.
EMAILS/LETTERS OF THE WEEK
Just wanted to say how much I love your work. I’m pretty selective about the internet things that I join. But I was more than happy to join your Round Table. You’re one of the sites I visit every day in the hopes of something new. Right now money is a bit tight, but I hope to rejoin at a higher level in the future when feeling a bit more flush.
I was so excited when I read one of your comics ages ago that referenced “The Squire” and other sites in the East Boston/Revere zone. I’ve lived in the Metro Boston area for the past 28 years and currently live in Winthrop. I was like, “Oh, I know exactly where he was.” (But not in a stalker-y way.)
Also, my mother loved the comic with the lap cat who likes to suckle. She has a cat that likes to suckle her nightgowns. When I sent her the link to your comic, she wrote back immediately (in all CAPS), “HOW DID YOU FIND THAT?!?!”
Anyway, thanks for doing what you do.

I just recently discovered your work. I work at the dollar general and I was moving some books around and I saw a comic for only a buck. Skeptical at first, I saw one of the critics comments “blah blah Calvin and Hobbes blah blah”. I immediately bought it solely because something said Calvin and Hobbes. You see, my favorite written/drawn material of all time is Calvin and Hobbes. Therefore I knew it was an alright idea to buy it. I read it that night, Chivalry ain’t dead is which book it was. Then I got on Amazon and bought The Complete K Chronicles. I’m halfway through it and I love it so far. I like your sense of humor, without regard and with a purpose. You’re a cool dude Keef, keep it up.

Hi, Keith,
I thought you’d like to know that your “Life’s Little Victories” bit inspired my Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year) message this year. Thanks so much — I hope you enjoy!
B’vrachot (with blessings)

YOU KNOW THAT FEELING YOU GET WHEN YOU SUDDENLY SEE A GREAT PARKING SPOT, YOU PULL IN WITH NO TIME TO WASTE…AND THERE’S ALREADY TIME ON THE METER?
OR WHEN YOU HAVE TO SPRINT THROUGH THE AIRPORT TO ARRIVE AT YOUR GATE COMPLETELY WINDED BUT YOU MAKE YOUR FLIGHT AFTER ALL?
OR WHEN YOU FIND A JAR OF PEACHES FROM LAST SUMMER’S FARMERS’ MARKET IN THE BACK OF THE FREEZER – AND THEY TASTE JUST AS GOOD AS YOU REMEMBER?
OR MAYBE WHEN SOME JERK IN AN EXPENSIVE SPORTS CAR CUTS YOU OFF – AND THREE MINUTES LATER YOU SEE HIM PULLED OVER BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD?
MOMENTS LIKE THAT ARE “LIFE’S LITTLE VICTORIES.” ANYTHING THAT MAKES YOU PUMP YOUR FIST AND SAY “YES!” IS A LITTLE VICTORY. I’LL BET THAT EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US CAN THINK OF A LITTLE VICTORY OF OUR OWN. SO, WHY DON’T WE BEGIN OUR ROSH HASHANAH, OUR NEW YEAR, ON A POSITIVE NOTE? I’LL INVITE EVERYONE TO TAKE A MOMENT AND JUST THINK ABOUT YOUR OWN LITTLE VICTORY. WHATEVER IT WAS; IT CAN BE SMALL – IN FACT, THE SMALLER THE BETTER. (FEW SECONDS PAUSE)…IN FACT, WHEN YOU’RE READY, JUST GIVE A LITTLE FIST PUMP AND QUIET “YES!” : )
(how cool is that?!!!-kk)
I’m white, well actually part American Indian (trail of tears ancestors), German & English. Anyway, I grew up in Huntsville, Al in the middle of race riots, grew up where it was normal to use the ‘N’ word. But… Now that word disgusts me, I wish it wasn’t in the English language let alone all it implies from the history of torture, murder, abuse, racism, etc.
I think what Oprah Winfrey said is what everyone should consider. She said, paraphrasing, ‘ I do not use that word because it was often the last word a black person heard just before being hanged’.
It surprises me how often black stand up comedians us it like it’s no big deal, funny, or okay because they’re black. For all the black ‘human beings’ that have been hurt, tortured, raped, murdered, profiled, & called a “N”, please everyone stop using this terrible word.
