Notice in my local newspaper, The Washington Post, in the Sunday comics section, that Keith Knight is ending his strip. The Post will replace it with Nancy by Olivia Jaimes!
The Knight Life is the second newspaper comic strip to officially end in 2019 with the other being Jerry Van A.‘s Ballard Street. Though there’s still no word if Get Fuzzy is #3 in 2019 newspaper comic strips to officially end.
“Nancy” is trying to appeal to teenagers and twenty-somethings. I’m not in that category so I don’t like most of it – but IMO it’s now far superior to the Nancy of my youth, who was insipid! Although perhaps it’s now just insipid in a different, more modern way.
My guess is Mr Knight is going to busy with his new Hulu show https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/woke-comedy-cartoonist-keith-knight-nabs-hulu-series-order-1234256
Mr Knight is far too talented to remain in today’s sadly-diminished newspaper comics. He’s really paid his dues here. But we may never know the secret identity of the Masked Maggot.
I wish you all the best in life and career success, Mr. Knight! I’m going to miss your comic strip, but I am SO glad to hear you are moving to bigger and better things!

Per his Instagram Keef says he’ll still be doing his weekly K Chronicles strips on Patreon. Hopefully they’ll trickle over GoComics way as well

If the danged strip is eliminated then either remove it or rerun it from the beginning.
