This is actually a redrawn version of an "K Chronicles" from few years
back:

May I say how impressed I am that you not only remembered this from five
years go, but were able to find it, and expose the plagiarism.

So, for those who weren't there a few days ago, let me repost the
remarks of Antonio E. Gonzalez in response to my thoughts on this
strip having so few newspapers:
">I recently had a chance to go through a large selection of past
>production of Knight's "The K Chronicles."
That's great, what about the comic in question, "The Knight Life"?
>Yes, occasionally laugh-out-loud funny. Of course, I could say the
>same thing about both "Mallard Fillmore" and "The Boondocks,"
>"Candorville" and "Prickly City."
Umm, it's called The Knight Life . . .
>But any smart editor, if they're looking at his past production, will
>seriously have to wonder just what Knight can say once his favorite
>whippin' boy is out of office.
Seriously, The Knight Life . . . "
Anyone wanna order this chap some crow sauce?

I'm afraid I was unclear. Let me try again.
An artist that recycles his own gag is a plagerist?
Keith Knight draws both the K Chronicles and The Knight Life.

If he ate his own flesh, would he be a cannibal?
No, really. I'm curious.

Oops! No, that is definitely NOT plagiarism! I can't even call it lazy,
since it *has* been five years, and it *is* pretty funny...

So . . . your "big proof" is one comic out of 235, one which
recycles a pretty clever gag . . . riiight . . .

And opening admits when he rips off old comics, sometimes even putting
the old side by side with the new. If it was a shameful or illegal
act, I doubt he'd be so blatant about it.

could judge or predict the expected content of a (supposedly) new
comic strip based on the content of the cartoonist's past production.
1 out of 265 would represent a repeat in less than a year of daily
production, and I'm not even looking for recycled material myself--
this was offered by someone else.
You know, I thought Keith Knight hung out on these Usenet forums. (I
could be wrong.) Do you suppose this very example may be why he
didn't chime in?
Look, I'm no asinine comics police. I know that every damned
cartoonist, from Berkeley Breathed to Charles Schulz to Reg Smythe to
Jim Davis to Mort Walker to Dik Browne to Charles Addams to Virgil
Partch toMark Tatulli, has recycled some good (or not so good)
material now and then. But honestly, there are some themes and traits
in cartooning that seem impossible to shake. It's pretty damned hard
(albeit not impossible) to go from raunchy material to children's
material, or from gag-a-day to continuity/drama, and in my opinion
it's damned difficult to leave left-leaning bashing of the political
"right" completely behind.

=v= Actually, I thought the strip at hand was a perfect example
of how Keith Knight could do exactly that. It's not like the
right wing has stopped spewing idiocy since Obama's election.

=v= This didn't come up in the last flamefest (because, really,
IMHO it's not that big a deal), but one of the premises of
_The_Knight_Life_ is that the *Sunday* strips would essentially
be the weekly _K_Chronicles_. But again, so what?
=v= And again, I'll mention that Keith also still draws a weekly
overtly political strip called _(th)ink_, and I don't see anyone
freaking out that the Shrub won't be starring in it, either.

"Equivalent to" perhaps, "be" no, since The K Chronicles continues (on
Salon, for example).
