   Hey, everyone who has been bagging Knute can now just SHUT UP!
   I have a lot of time for anyone who aspires to Gentlemanliness.

   What IS it with people constantly sticking apostrophes where a plural is supposed to be?

   No matter — If Knute’s a gentleman, I’m Steve Smith. WHO? Yeah, that’s my point.

   I’m not a United States of American, but even I have heard of Knute Rockne.

   It is too bad that this is a fairly common conversation. It started in the sixties and has gotten to the point that men don’t bother to try to be gentlemen anymore because they get berated for it. Heavy sigh!

   That’s right, modern women feel demeaned when a man shows good manners.

   Wow. Knute’s Chesire cat grin disappeared fast in the second & final panel. Way to go, Crystal (Knute’s father)!

    Knute is a Scandanavian/Viking name, Actually; just as DeGroot is Dutch (Apparently Greg likes using names from the Northern parts of Europe)

    I graciously accept the thoughtful actions of a gentleman, and I am independent enough to do things myself without complaint if need be. But if a man is RUDE to me in any way, shape, or form, he will get an earful of my opinion of his behavior.

    And now I know where you live. :-) Too late, I voted for Kate.

    However, the name Knute is very, very old. It’s Germanic, turns up still in Scandanavian countries, and can be spelled Knute, Knut, Cnut, or even Canute. There was a Danish king of England (during the Danelaw, obviously) named Knut, who is the guy who demonstrated to his courtiers the limits of kingship by ordering the tide to turn back- and getting very wet.

    I’ve always just assumed that Knute (in this strip) was Scandanavian.

    Here, in Canada, we all open doors for each other; it just depends who gets to the door first. Sometimes, entering a store, I’ll hold the exterior door for a lady and when we get to the interior door, the lady will hold it for me, we say our thanks yous and it’s all cool :)
