 Been on a medieval kick lately, and reading my way through Le Morte D'Arthur in Middle English which is both a little bit of a slog and a delight. I'm learning a lot about how our language has evolved and while it can be slow going in sections, I feel like it's absolutely worth it to read Thomas Mallory's version. He was, of course, drawing on several other older sources, many of them French (as it seyeth in the Frensshe book). If you start digging for the origins of the myths of King Arthur, you quickly find there's nowhere to stop, the hole just keeps getting deeper. 

Anyways, I am a very silly person so this has inspired me to draw the Muppets as the cast from Monty Python's Holy Grail movie. I spent way too long peering at screencaps for costume details, because that's the kind of person I am.
