I wanted to let you know that your Robotnik design was the greatest ever. It's quite possibly the reason that Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog was so enjoyable for me, since he is my favorite villain ever. He's probably the greatest villain ever. Better than the Joker. Better than Jafar. Better than Satan. And you made that possible for me. Thank you. --

I watched Cool World for the first time on Monday. I was reading the credits and saw your name in the design category! I thought i recognized something in al the characters running around. Now, I'm going to have to pull out my comic book boxes and go to the Milton Knight file (Yes, I have some of your comics filed in my "artists box." Your stuff is in good company with Basil Wolverton, Frazetta. Kaluta, Wrightson, and Stevens) and read Hugo, Midnite, Slug and Ginger and Betty Boop again. Thank you very much for the enjoyment I've received reading your work. Cheers. Matt Greby macguiness@hotmail.com |

I just found your website (why did I wait so long to google your name?!), even though I've been a fan of yours since Hugo #1. I remember reading an editorial you wrote in Comics Journal that made me view the old Terrytoons with a renewed appreciation. When I found Midnite I was thrilled to discover more of your work. When I visited the Fantagraphics booth at a comic expo you were the only artist I asked about, but nobody knew anything except that you were working in animation. Now that I found your site, I'm happy to see so much new exciting stuff! [...] your work serves as an inspiring reminder that good cartooning is not dead. Its eyes still bulge with wild life. Thanks a million! Yours, most sincerely, Jeff Reynolds (reyn64@hotmail.com) |

I want to say I greatly appreciate you. I still have your autograph given to me in the 1980's by my brother David Pleasant, a percussionist in NYC. I have continued in my art and am now recognized all over the World. It is a hard road for a black man artist. And I still experience much discrimination in my art career. Especially in the Usa and even UK. Sadly, even my somewhat recent trip to LA was filled with much of this. In the form of disrespect, discrimination, etc, at Bergamot Station galleries, and others elsewhere in LA. However, I do not give up and I continue forward. I do most of my work outside of the usa. And I have achieved many positive results as a result. I am in the Nyc scene a bit still too. And am known. You were of profound influence to me because you made it. And stuck to your dreams. For a little black boy from Savannah Georgia, such things mean a lot. You existed and that was enough to offer to me hope for me and my art in the future. I continue to walk forward and paint with all of my heart. This is just the beginning for me. You are Great. Kindest regards, always. PLEASANT (azamat1@msn.com) |

I've been looking over your work and I hope you won't mind my saying this but I consider you to be the most unique,exciting cartoonist of our age. I am always reminded of that nervous kid who came to my office at DC Comics so many years ago. You've come a long way since then and still you continue to grow. Please keep your work coming. |

Mr. Knight, I've been a fan of yours since I first laid eyes on Hugo and Slug & Ginger. For me, they will always remain my favorite comic characters. I just bought the two new Hugo comics, only to see that you consider them finished. I hope that you will reconsider. I of course would love autographed copies, but I primarily want to encourage you to write more Hugo. By the way, I was glad to see Hugo and the Princess finally get it on explicitly, especially in issue #2. About time! And more Slug & Ginger would be welcome. http://www.livejournal.com/users/gentlemanj |

You´ve got an utterly mad cartoon style guy! It´s amazing! :D It´s the first time i see your site and i don´t know much of your artwork. Two days ago I saw the Ninja Turtles comics you drew for Archie comics(i imagine it isn´t the best work you´ve made) and your insane style really surpriesed me. I´ll search for more of your artworks. I´m a beginner cartoonist and from now and on i´ll take you as one of my "masters"! heh heh! :D Well, that´s it. Good bye! |

I wish you joy and happiness always. May the Sun enlighten , the Moon enrich and the Earth embrace and protect you always. Yours in Peace Micheal Teal (mteal@interlynx.net) |

life you breathe (anima? acting?) into your cast. You really have a way of freeze framing or storyboarding motion or depicting fluid action - appropriately still referred to as "animated". |
|||
|
I notice that your style has gotten looser yet more deliberate over the years. I'm assuming that's because you've leaned more towards personal projects since a few years ago. In my experience, working on animation where I have to force myself to draw like everyone else tends to limit the personal nuances I would otherwise draw into my (unrelated) work. I'm diggin' your "portrait of Lola", and if you don't mind me saying, I like your afrocentric stuff in general. It provides a taste of how cartoonists could've drawn blacks in the jazz age if they weren't so busy being asses with those idiotic stereotypes. |

Miltie This new update gives your site a glossy sheen of veritable Negritude! That word Negritude just popped into my noggin when gazing at the Ass Gallery. This is a sassy site! It gives the impression that you are having fun, yet! Which knowing you, proves the power of technical focus and prowess. |

Milt, you rock. I've been checking out your site and you're too prolific! I like the variety, it's more life-affirming than someone who just plods on without developing or taking on board new things that influence them, however randomly. You have to be like that I guess, otherwise the love for it goes. |

are dynamic as ever. The thick, fluid brush strokes really bring the comic to life. Your drawings are more animated than most cartoons on television. Thank you so much for a tremendously entertaining read! -Michael Bresnahan |

was very reminiscient of Terrytoons comics and golden age cartoons. The character designs were more rounded and soft. Not that that was a bad thing.I love that style. The new Hugo is more hardened. The inking is coarser and thicker. Greater use of blacks. Though you are still using a three-tier system, it looks less confined in the new Hugo. This is probably due to the way in which you inked the panel borders. The scene doesn't just seem to end at the borders.The borders are part of the scene. Still, with the differences in style you've managed not to lose what it is that makes it a Milton Knight comic. Side-by-side one can see that they are both the work of the same artist at different times in his career. At times, pencillers styles make such a radical change they lose what it was that endeared them so much to their fans. You haven't lost it. The Milton Knight energy is still ever-present in the pages of the new Hugo. -Chris Lopez |

( matthewpulling@yahoo.com ): I have recently come into a new period of discovery regarding you. I was lucky enough to come across 2 issues of your Hugo comic lately, and your new website as well. I almost passed out when I found it. It has opened my eyes indeed to the scope of your talent and of accomplishments I'd had no information about. I had seen your comics (of course), seen Felix episodes you'd directed, as well as illustrations and record jackets, but was less versed regarding your own artistic manifesto. I knew enough to be intimidated before I'd reached your site, and smelled the intense, vicious personal drive swimming beneath the surface of your concise (not rude) replies in interviews, but now I really feel proud that I can bask in the radiation of that frightening determination in close quarters, with no protective gear. Thanks for putting up such an informative site, and for being such a key player in the rejuvenation of an entire family of dying genres and mediums. |

I love the new site! It's a great showcase for your lively drawings. And the paintings! Man alive, your paintings are so bold and expressive. You really do nice work. (Just stop making other cartoonists jealous!) I can't tell you how pleased I am to hear about the new Hugo series. Your return to comics is a much anticipated one. |

I just saw your site through a link on Dave S's [Dr. Strange-Q's] page. Excellent stuff! Imagine my surprise when I saw that you had books published with Blackthorne Publishing, too. Keep up the great work! Thanks,Jerry!We survived! |

Hey Milt, I love your site. We've all been checking it out at Primal. Keep up the great work! Your art is entertaining and inspirational to me. I'll put up a announcement about your site on STRANGETOONS right away. ..And check the info on his band at: http://www.snowwhitetrashband.com |

the site blew my mind!!!! it was great to see all the covers and paintings especially!!!!! u ARE comicbook history!!!! |

Dear Milton, Last night I had the opportunity to visit your web site and it was just great! Very professionally set up and your illustrations, paintings, comics, etc. were excellent. Wild, free and irreverent. If you were a little older, you could have been one of the vanguard of the UNDERGROUND COMICS movement,along with Crumb, Spain, Bode, et al. I didn't know you were such a fan of NORMAN LINDSAY. I have a print of his, which I had framed, which I had bought from Roy Krenkel many years ago. I can see his influence in your work, especially in the way you both draw women. Princess Trish could easily be a cartoon version of Lindsay women. |

Great selection of art on your site. I'm so happy that you put a lot of it up there because so many artist sites don't have enough art on them. The design is nice and simple, and easy to navigate, which is great. I would much rather see that than something cluttered. You may want to try and make it a bit more fanciful down the line to help reflect and bring out the exuberant nature of your art. |

I checked out your website--it looks good! Great stuff! I enjoyed looking at your recent work. I hope it helps you get some work. (You mind-reader,you!-MK.) |

(Y)our site looks good. Well-designed, and it loads reasonably fast, even on my snail-slow connection. |
