Your Mother was a Hamster and Your Father Smelt of Elderberries














A casual conversation the other day reminded me of what a seminal influence Monty Python has had on my life. An attempt can be made to link the dry, intelligent, self-depreciating wit of British comedy to the acutely self-aware art world, although I won't attempt it for fear of sounding silly. If only visits to the Tate resulted in the doubled-over, tearful laughter that is instigated by John Cleese, Michael Palin, Eric Idle and Co.
