Like you, I am a HUGE Monty Python fan…ever since my first nibble in 1977. A huge part of my happiness and one of the things that puts me on a more even keel. Love love love them and yes, John Cleese ROCKS it!!! I will admit to being embarrassed about how long it took me to figure out - silly English knigit 😂😂. It wasn’t mere seconds😂😂!
Always good to be reminded of Monty Python every hour of the day😃❣️🙏 A French taunter never hurt anyone😂, it’s good to learn about cheeses 🧀, Yorkshire men, autocracy and to get pointers on winning an argument! I just want to SING 🎶 🎵❣️❣️❣️
It’s cool to learn that they are such an inspiration to you, Michael❣️…and what a coup that John Cleese is also your fan❣️ How could it be otherwise❣️❣️❣️🥂🍾
My commitment to Python lunacy started while visiting England in the late 60s. MPFC was unlike anything I'd ever seen. At the same time I heard The Goon Show, with Spike Milligan, Peter Sellers & Harry Secombe. It was no surprise the Pythons took their cue from that lot! I was hooked on Brit humor!
When Monty Python released The Holy Grail, followed by The Life of Brian, it was like a new type of comedy had been invented for North American audiences.
Followed in the 80s by Blackadder & Red Dwarf, I became a committed Anglophile comedy devotee!
Michael, your toon of Pope Leo XIV hit me in the heart when you published it.
American. A missionary. Now an emissary representing God on earth. His first words as Pope showed his commitment to mankind. But first & foremost he's God's allegiant. As a lapsed catholic, his election as Pope left me hopeful that the papacy might find relevance far beyond Catholicism. His "comment" in your toon was perfect. 🕊🕯🙏
I share your admiration for Mr.C.'s comedic genius. I do not align with him when it comes to his hints at division. Any art form is subjective and what I admire about your work is the drama inherent in the drawing. Any controversy I apply to myself, and how my views be may influenced, not to judge how others may be different from me. I believe Art is meant to bring us together in the experience of creation. Your creation shines brightly, no matter the status of the observer.
And of course the stick up their butts Catholic League of Decency condemned The Life of Brian as sacrilegious. As long as there's story telling going, and it's open mic night in Bethlehem, let the lads have a go then, with Biggus Dickus and his wife Incontinentia Buttocks getting a shout out, who said there's no bad publicity...
Yes! And Fawlty Towers, especially the German scene! I start giggling just thinking about it. From now on I’ll read your cartoons with John Cleese in mind… 🥰😅
Monty Python HEAVEN!!!!
Exceptional, truly exceptional work
Life long Python addict here!
We crave Intelligence.
We find Brains to be Sexy!
We Read books, seeking out the banned one's in defiance.
Congrats to you on the Cleese post.
Keep up the good work!
Well deserved, Michael. It was one of my favorites from 2025.

I would love to see a video of a John Cleese 'silly walk' that morphed into Pete Hegseth's 'Nutcracker' skateboard technique
Great cartoon.
100% agree, MdA!

Oh oui, je l'aime. J'ai vu tant de ses films ...

Funny how after a few decades most religious opposition to The Life of Brian went away but now the trans mob hates it.
"Is this the right room for an argument?"
"I've already told you once..."
No you haven't.
I should live so long to be complimented by John Cleese. You earned it!
Congrats De Adder, you can take tomorrow off..... tongue in cheek.
Love your Best Of drawings. Helps to be an old fart like me to get the best ones.
Congrats! Your cartoon artwork is unique and exceptional; your political commentary insightful and incisive.
My sense of comedy was forever changed by watching Monty Python on PBS (KCET), back in the 1970s.
Yes! And Fawlty Towers, especially the German scene! I start giggling just thinking about it. From now on I’ll read your cartoons with John Cleese in mind… 🥰😅
