’round yon nerd-boy, blubber and cry,
With the impact, you’ll want to die…
Stephan is having a very bad Knight.
Bobby Knight, or Preacher Pence? They BOTH look just about the same, and both are just about equally crazy!
It might just be that I’m closer to being in my dotage than I ever realized, but I LIKED IT!
I thought it was a good pun!
.
Whoa-oh, could this be a sign that the end is near?
A/2017 U1 was just a shot across the bow?
Ah the good old days when Knight was the nadir of public behaviour.
Can I throw the next chair?
Hey, wrong time of year for this pun- don’t have one for Halloween?
Why are these Knights different from all other Knights?
I was in the ESPN movie, A Season on the Brink. I was the target for the chair throwing scene!
or in chess terms, final panel would be knight takes pastis :p
Good pun aside, that was my mom and aunt’s (her sister, both R.I.P.) all-time favorite Christmas carol.
It is likely not only the comic strip Bobby Knight who wants to hit SP with a chair.
You don’t need to know who Bobby Knight was to get the joke. The pun only needed the name for it to work.
How did the bank robbery go? Is Pig now complicit?
Good Knight, Al.
Saw this one coming before the punchline
They look like Newt Gingrich.
hit him with Pastis’s new PBS compilation book on why puns suck.
Coach Knight never asked permission – he just went ahead and had his temper tantrum.
Halloween and Christmas both in today’s strip. Actually, I’m impressed. It’s also an interesting idea to rob a bank only on Halloween.
Pastis must have bee up all night to think of this one.
Throw it, Bobby, throw it!
Rat robs banks now?
I spent much of the ’80s as a grad student at Purdue, learning to hate Bobby Knight. The chair throwing incident occurred in a game against us. I remember it well.
I never realized how much Bobby Knight looks like Newt Gingritch. or maybe it’s just Pastis.
People forget that the year Knight threw the chair onto the court, he led Indiana to the NCAA championship
“Tortured” doesn’t begin to describe the effort that went into this “joke.”
Good strip, Mr. Pastis. Don’t listen to the naysayers.
At least this wasn’t eh hunting “accident” Knight was involved in with Dick Cheney.
Great strip, finally one I really like the pun. Whack them all with chairs Bobby Knight!!
I, for one, enjoy the convolution.
I love this!

—Not just Bobby!
Hiyahh! Take that, Cartoon-Boy!
I’ll never join you in bank robbery again….
Stephan, maybe you can make something out of “Oh nightly hole…”
Take Stephan’s chair, not bring your own!
