Assembled Extra: Keith Knight Latest To Try Subscription Model

Keith Knight follows in the footsteps of prolific cartoonists with a devoted audience on-line such as Matt Bors and Ruben Bolling, and is now offering a subscription model to those fans in order to more closely follow his work. From my vantage point, efforts like that seem to have been a way for a few cartoonists to buttress income with a hopefully good-sized, one-time -- and then on a hopefully regular schedule thereafter -- cash influx. It should provide a measure as to degree and nature of Knight's appeal to his first line of fans, although it's difficult to draw sweeping conclusions from any one overture. Knight is one of comics' more dependable road warriors over the last two decades, and has always been active on-line. it was those fans, one imagines, that came through for him in a big way on a recent graphic novel crowd-funder. I wish him well.
