DAILY
Keef launched a daily comic in 2008 that is syndicated by Universal Press Syndicate! Check it out here.
The Official K Chronicles and (Th)ink Website
Humorous comics, often with political overtones. The official K Chronicles and (th)ink website by cartoonist Keith Knight!
Funny! I’ll share with my partner who happens to be white :-) I’m getting hooked on your comic strips – they’re addicting man! Just finished writing your introduction for the ALA Conference – President’s Program! Driving to Anaheim tomorrow from San Francisco. See you in a couple of days.
So timely that you are writing the Toonarazzi plot line. I have been thinking that the plot line in Luanne (don’t pretend you don’t read it) has been leading to TJ taking the evil Ann Eiffel, roughly, from behind, and I’m cheered to realize there is someone out there who could draw it.
Letter to the Boston Herald.
THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME NO REASON TO READ THE BOSTON HERALD.
With the information highway we can get the same story on FOX (god forbid), on our phone, on NPR, on WBZ radio, even Satellite Radio, and everywhere on the internet..
So the ONLY reason to necessitate my purchasing the Herald? A local syndicated artist.
Keith Knight is a popular cartoonist right form our own area, Malden MA. He is an awarded talented professional.
You summarily cut him secondary to a laughable ( not in a funny way) anime-ish story of a possibly psychotic girl with her invisible unicorn. Gee haven’t seen that done, done and done before. Although I have nothing against this pop culture pandering combination of Calvin and Hobbes and Despicable Me (?Agnes), WHY WOULD YOU CUT A LOCAL ARTIST? It’s like cutting the Peanuts from the Star Tribune.
Now I can’t vouch for the reasons the editors do what they do but I do see is a thoughtless decision that only solidifies the notion that the news paper industry has devolved to the short sightedness of immediate gratification and pop culture and not “take care of it’s own.”
The worst part about it is the fact that there isn’t a single kid that may be interested in this would ever read it in the Herald. Kids look at things on the internet wioth their mobile devices or computers, comics, games, stories, whatever.
Adults read the newspaper while in the diner waiting for breakfast. Please reconsider and support a non-Hollywood artist and NOT a corporate pop culture created cartoon strip marketed to the wrong demographic to the wrong media.

Bravo Mr. Wee! I need all the help I can get!
Hello Mr. Knight,
I just wanted to drop a line about seeing that amazing comic strip in Daily Kos yesterday. II wanted to post it on Facebook. It was so spot-on about the hypocrisy and hysteria! I can’t see how anyone can have a calm, balanced discussion about this. People’s reason flies out the window. And your strip about it is so perfect. As an aspiring comics creator I really like to get into the “hot-button” issues. But really, I can’t fathom why people are losing their heads about that issue. Am sad that one day later it is down off the internet. I know you rely on patrons, but please take heart! Repost it! It means a lot to everyone who considers themselves a reasonable person in this country and beyond. Thanks, SAS
@ SAS
Somewhere down the line I will post it, along with comics about all the foolishness that happened afterward. I removed it myself, because a few comments went beyond usual threats.
I hope someday there can be a rational discussion about this. Not sure why everyone is so trusting of big pharma.
Keith, it’s not “big pharma” and you do yourself a disservice by trying to frame the debate that way. Vaccines save lives and have been proven 99.9% safe. You are not doing anyone any favors by pretending that unvaccinated children are a “choice”. You can “choose” to drive on the wrong side of the road too, but when you kill someone you can’t claim that you didn’t know you were going to kill someone with your recklessness. I don’t expect you to change your mind, but you should avoid phrases like “big pharma” if you want to have a rational discussion.
For someone a little closer to your ideals, try this story about a woman who decided to choose not to vaccinate until all her kids developed whooping cough. This is the discussion you are trying to have — the discussion of how many preventable diseases we can allow our kids to acquire before we decide that vaccination is better than dead children.

Keef old bean, I’m not trying to bust your chops over the comic about alien abductions but I would refer you, sir to the story of Barney and Betty Hill.
I’ve been schooled about the Hills..but I still blame it on the wife. :)
You requested Funny Times readers (or contributors) to chime in on OUR version of Hell.
The three women in the world who are currently shorter than me opt for gender change
The only vegetable available Brussels Bloody Sprouts and only beverage

Don’t you feel you are being a bit racist in your cartoons? If you were to change the word ‘White’ for ‘Black’ in this cartoon wouldn’t it cause a huge angry outcry?
Just watched your show on hulu. Great stuff, thank you for your frankness in a palatable/real, funny/sad an accessible platform. I am a fan, just learned of you today and I’m all about singing your praises of truth. Please don’t get lost in the success of it all and keep your vision of enlightenment for all. You might find this funny ish….there are to blue people and they don’t play in Vegas. The blue people of kentucky have a condition called methemaglabinemia, trip out on that
KEITH!!! This is so crazy! First off, congrats on your new show WOKE!!! You may not remember me, but this is Darryl. We went to Salem State together, back in ‘88-‘89, way back when you were in Buttercrunch. I was in a band back then too called Stained Glass Cookies and used to hang out at WMWM. Worked at the Log, etc. Remember that crazy protest day when *** smashed that TV with a bat and got that gash in his head? Anyways, I’m just so excited for you man. I just had to reach out.
I like your strip but was not happy to read today’s. Please, no “Ike beats Tina” jokes. Domestic violence is not funny.
