Keith Knight
b'Keith Knight is currently busy writing the second season of \\u201cWoke,\\u201d the hit show on Hulu that he co-created and co-produces. \\u201cWoke\\u201d follows a cartoonist named Keef Knight who after a startling assault by a policeman discovers that inanimate objects start speaking to him. In brutally funny ways, these objects, as well as Keef\\u2019s human friends, open his eyes to the pressing social issues his art has yet to address. \\xa0\\nThe show is clearly semi-autobiographical, but there\\u2019s no question that the real Keith Knight has been socially and politically aware decades longer than his TV creation. Since the early 1990s, he has been creating razor-witted comic strips that regularly tackle such issues as systemic racism and police brutality. His work, including the popular comic series \\u201cThe K Chronicles,\\u201d \\u201cth(ink)\\u201d and \\u201cThe Knight Life,\\u201d has been seen in newspapers and web outlets all over the country. In 2007 he received a Harvey Kurzman Award, the Oscar of the cartooning world, for \\u201cThe K Chronicles\\u201d; in 2010 he received an Inkpot Award for career achievement at the San Diego Comic-Con; and in 2015 the NAACP honored him with a History Maker award in recognition of the impact of his body of work.\\n\\xa0\\nIn this interview with Rob Kramer and Pier Carlo Talenti, Keith reveals how he has navigated a number of unexpected obstacles \\u2014 from the shrinking of traditional newspaper outlets to the COVID-19 lockdown \\u2014 to stay on his toes and shape his remarkable career.\\nhttps://kchronicles.com/\\nhttps://www.hulu.com/series/woke-034909c6-8c46-4cad-8d0d-062574a9e5f1'
