      I think it’s because a Knight/Horse can stay outside a Queen’s path while still threatening her.

        It’s also in the position to take out the queen by forcing the king to move out of check.

          I love a joke comic that logically checks out.

          Not sure what you mean by fork.

          And I’d say so, looks like a horse/pony to me

            The knight is threatening two valuable pieces at the same time, forcing the opponent to lose 1 of them. That maneuver is referred to as a fork in chess.
