The Knight Life Review and Giveaway...

Synopsis(from Amazon.com)

"The Knight Life is a hilariously twisted view of life through the eyes and pen of its creator, community-oriented urban hipster and award-winning cartoonist Keith Knight. The Knight Life deftly blends political insight and neurotic humor in a uniquely fluid and dynamic style, offering a comic strip that's fresh, sharp, topical and funny. Designed for daily newspapers, The Knight Life follows Knight's long-running, 2007 Harvey Award-winning weekly comic strip "The K Chronicles," which appears on salon.com. An unabashedly provocative political and social satire, The Knight Life tackles contemporary issues like consumer culture, bacon, the media, race, family and everything else, gently mocking the minutiae of daily life with self-deprecating humor, honesty and goofiness-a combination that's perfect for the comics. And The Knight Life's energetic style reminds readers that comics can look funny as well as read funny. The result is accessible yet edgy, compassionate and political-and never preachy. Cartoonist and comic historian R.C. Harvey said, "The Knight Life is undeniably the best new laugh- and thought-provoker on the comics page. Not since Calvin and Hobbes has there been so novel an entertainment in the funnies."(2009) "

What we thought:

If you like reading the Sunday comics, this is the book for you! Even if you aren't a regular funny paper reader you should really read this one. The Knight Life "Chivalry Ain't Dead" is funny and at the same time smart. Knight's strip is thought-provoking and so entertaining! We loved that he took today's issues and put a humorous spin on them. What an amazing outlook. Even in the worst of times, he manages to find something to laugh and joke about. We think this would make an awesome coffee table book to share with friends and family, but once you pick it up you might find you've read the whole thing in just one sitting! Our resident funny paper connoisseur(4 year old A who always asks us to read her the comics and laughs hilariously even if she doesn't get the joke:) and the rest of ABCD Diaries give The Knight Life "Chivalry Ain't Dead" an A+!
