British Comedy Guide

Knight and Squire

Hi. As well as being addicted to British comedy, I also read the occasional comic for entertainment. I mean occasional!
There is a DC mini-series at the moment called "Knight and Squire". The heroes are a sort of British Batman and Robin and the style of the comic book approximates one of the more surreal British comedies - like "Monty Python", "The Goodies" or even "The Mighty Boosh". The characters on both sides of the law are very quirky, with some villains just being in it for a lark. Plenty of comic banter is traded and heroes and villains enjoy a drink together at a pub that magically prevents them from fighting. It is all oddball good fun and the American writers have approximated the style of English comedies and comics well - as is their stated intention. There is a comical guide at the end of each book to help non-Britons get it.
Have a look.

There's a thread for these, Todd.
