The Knight Life Ends.
Keith Knight uses The K Chronicles to confirm the ending of The Knight Life.
The Knight Life Still Runs
Above is The Knight Life running in this weekend’s Stars and Stripes newspaper. It is a repeat of the first 2019 Sunday strip. I don’t know if other papers will also do this. It strikes me as odd, since Stars and Stripes has been running a notice of a comics poll for quite some time.
That notice has replaced Tank McNamara in the comics section. I was thinking Tank would return, taking The Knight Life’s spot. Were they taken unawares?
Hey Kids! Comics!
Forgot to list Sandra’s new book in my September list. (Picked up a copy yesterday.)
Lee Salem – RIP
A month later, Mr. Trudeau mocked Frank Sinatra’s alleged ties to organized crime and had him, in one strip, threatening a casino blackjack dealer if she shuffled the cards before dealing. Through his lawyer, Mickey Rudin, Sinatra demanded a retraction.
When Garry Trudeau satirized Frank Sinatra (whom he called “Dr. Sinatra” because he had recently received an honorary doctorate) in “Doonesbury,” Sinatra’s lawyer demanded a retraction. Mr. Salem refused.
“Lee called me up and said in that calm, steady voice of his, ‘Rudin says you got a lot of the facts wrong,’” Mr. Trudeau said in a eulogy delivered at Mr. Salem’s memorial service. “And I replied: ‘Of course I got a lot of the facts wrong. I made them up.’”
So, Mr. Trudeau added, “Lee directed the syndicate’s counsel to send a one-sentence reply stating the obvious: that the strip was covered by the First Amendment. Rudin stood down.”
Hey Kids! Comics!
