Sketch o’the Week- Eric Idle!

We’re back with a new “Sketch o’the Week”, and another Python! A nod’s as good as a wink to a blind bat, eh? Or so says “Arthur Nudge” as portrayed by Eric Idle from classic Monty Python sketch “Candid Photography” (or as the rest of the world knows it, “Wink Wink Nudge Nudge.”)

I had a tough time decided what character to draw Eric Idle as. He has so many that are key parts of Python lore… The “Door-to-Door Joke Salesman”? The “Dead Collector” from “Monty Python and the Holy Grail”? The “Amorous Marriage Counselor?” How about “Sir Robin The Not-Quite-So-Brave-As-Sir-Lancelot?” I decided on his Arthur Nudge character. When a character is still endlessly quoted and imitated over 55 years later, that has to be considered a pop culture touchstone.
