This week I finished re-reading JB's run on Namor. It's the first time I've read them this century and probably only the third time since the original publication. I'd either forgotten about or previously missed the cheeky little Monty Python line when the Punisher confronts Desmond Marrs' drug dealer. I seem to have heard the Pirahna Bothers sketch a lot recently (I have three of the Python LPs on my phone and sketches regularly pop up between songs in shuffle mode) so "I hear you've been a naughty boy, Clement." bought a real smile to my face! Plant Man having associates called William, Benjamin and Little Weed also made me chuckle! 

So here's a belated "Nicely done Sir!" to JB!

I've never watched MONTY PYTHON, but now I understand it.

I was lucky enough to reread NAMOR again recently.

I hope youse guys have checked out LEGEND, the Tom Hardy movie about the Kray brothers. They were the real life inspiration for Doug and Dinsdale Piranha.

I haven't seen it, but that's a recommendation I will follow!

Legend was an excellent movie. Had no idea the brothers in Legend were the real life inspiration for the characters in that Python sketch though! Neat!
