The Knight Life by Keith Knight for August 15, 2012

I’m no more afraid than you are totally stupid. Wait – I take that back, you win.

I remember when people wrote comics that were funny. What is funny about committing a crime? What crime will we read about next? Funny robbery? Funny drunk driving? Funny murder? Funny rape?

In 2000 voter turnout in Philadelphia was 99%. !?!!??? Not likely.

Only a shallow cartoonist would believe you can convince the public that voter fraud doesn’t exist by portraying characters this way in a comic strip.

Gotta disagree. He’s addressing a real social issue here — the argument about whether “voter fraud” exists to any great extent, and whether the issue is just being raised by the right to suppress minority voting. And he’s doing it in a non-confrontational and humorous way. This is just how cartooning and in fact satire itself started. He’s part of a long and proud tradition. Keep it up, Keef.

asking for a picture idea is NOT suppressing anyone’s ability to vote.
