The 10-stamp series announced on Thursday celebrates some of the troupe’s most iconic characters and catchphrases, from “Nudge, nudge” to “The Lumberjack Song.”

Palin said he was “very glad to share a stamp with the nude organist!”

I fall in the latter category.

Used to love Monty Python's Flying Circus on BBC as well as their movies.

“Oh, but you can’t expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you.”

I thought the RMS was privatized several years ago. Maybe the government still prints the stamps and leaves the delivery to the private corp?

Some of their shows fell flat for me. Others were hilarious, if you like their humor.
My favorite was the “Milkman” sketch with Ms Cleveland and Palin.
