10	----
11	!!Provides examples of:
12	* CanonForeigner: ''The Knight Life'' added additional characters such as Dexter Sr., Dexter Jr., Clovis, and Virgil the Conspiracy Theorist.
13	* CompositeCharacter: According to Keith Knight, whenever he or his friends do something really weird, embarassing, or illegal, he uses Gunther as a stand-in.
14	* EvilTwin: Keith jokingly refers to his real-life twin sister as being this.
15	* FakingTheDead: Dexter Sr. faked his death so that the sales of his rap albums can increase. Evidently, it worked.
16	* JustHereForTheFreeSnacks: Keith has said many times this why he goes to art exhibits.
17	%%* JournalComic: A rare print example.
18	* LighterAndSofter: The daily strip, ''The Knight Life'', is essentially a family-friendly version of ''The K Chronicles'', although there are moments where even that gets crap past the radar.
19	* TheNameless: Knight goes out of his way to not include the names of his two sons in his strip(s), leading sometimes to cumbersome linguistic work-arounds.
20	%%* TheStoner: Gunther.
21	* SuddenAnatomy: Characters' arms only appear when they're necessary.
22	* TakeThat
23	** Keith is a Franchise/StarWars fan who hates the prequels, and would often ridicule them in the strip.
24	** ''The Knight Life'' makes fun of legacy strips (strips drawn after the original creator died) with a [[ShowWithinTheShow strip within the strip]] "The Good Ol' Days", which dates back to the Civil War and is about a couple of ''slaves''.
25	* WallOfText: Oh lordy. It's not rare to have strips where a majority of the panels are text, with very few actual drawings.
