'Tis But a Scratch

Who DOESN'T love the Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail?


He's a bona fide CULTURAL ICON now! And the Black Knight always seems to pop up when you LEAST expect him.

Here he is helping everyone to TELL TIME . . . .


Moonlighting as a POPULAR DJ . . . .


Shrugging off a CAR ACCIDENT . . . .


He's even made it to CANADA!


LATE-BREAKING ADDITION!

Many thanks to Pickleope of Strangely Naked for providing a link to this fabulous Black Knight art print by Alexander Wells, which is for sale here! In the background, you can see the French castle where the English knights were so mercilessly taunted and, speaking of merciless, my personal favourite, the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog!

  12. Hmmm, I do not know this fellow! I do like the writing on the damaged car though. I saw one once where someone put a giant Band-aid bandage on the dent. This Knight seems to get around a lot.

  18. Tis such a great phrase. I should put this one on one of my conversation necklaces! Although the younger generation would not get it.

  19. I swear, you must be my long lost sister. The Black Knight is the best. My kids and grand-kids know the entire script of Holy Grail by heart. My sons will do the Knights Who Say Nei or the None Shall Pass in the kitchen while I'm trying to cook Christmas dinner or Thanksgiving dinner and I almost wet my pants from laughing.
