Trivia[]
- Knight began drawing at the age of two. This also included painting, comic book attempts, and animation.
- From 1978 to 1979, he attended BOCES Nassau County Cultural Arts Center and Hofstra University.
- At the time the show was being produced, he was pushing to make AoStH's Robotnik out to be "animation's sexiest fat man" as the direction the animators were given to do with animating his body in a comical fashion, such as his butt for example, and Milton makes several notes that describes Robotnik's personality such as "the perfect image of self love" and "Robotnik is not a straight villain. He is the object of ridicule." as seen here in a Twitter tweet that shows concept art for AoStH's Robotnik. Robotnik himself remarks very often that he is quite handsome, for example in Sonic Breakout.
