As you probably have already noticed, there's something a bit different about the upcoming story. Similar to Rocky Mountain Lion, I have decided to do the Holy Grail story in comic book (rather than comic strip) format. I don't know why I keep doing this to myself. The updating schedule is already daunting enough as it is.
Anyway, please let me know if you see any problems with the site as we move along. You may need to do a hard refresh (F5 on a PC) to make sure that the links are updated as they should be. The Holy Grail picture in the top right corner will take you to the first page of the comic. From there, it's simply a matter of turning the pages.
I will still be updating every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, though the main page won't necessarily change. Just keep clicking on the picture in the corner on the regular update days. Hopefully, I won't fall behind.
By the way, if you haven't seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail, you will need to see it to make the story even the least bit entertaining. It would be preferable that you see it several times, of course, but once is a start.
If you haven't seen it, you can watch it on YouTube. Just search for "Monty Python and the Holy Grail Part One". It is uploaded in several separate 9-10 minute segments. You'll just have to click through them one at a time. If you do not enjoy the movie, you will probably not enjoy this storyline. Of course, if you do not enjoy the movie, then I'm not really sure you find Sandusky to be all that entertaining anyway, as I steal many of my jokes from the likes of Monty Python and Mel Brooks, amongst others. ;D

Oh my, early update. ;D Yes John, people will be confused if they have not seen the movie. That is part of what makes it so funny, making Monty Python references in public. Half the people are laughing like crazy and the other half is looking at the first half as if they have lost their mind. I once acted out the "Dead collector" scene when helping setup a new Wal-Mart with a pallet jack, pallet, and peg hook. Too bad there wasn't a video camera there. Also love Sandusky's efforts at special effects. "Coconuts" ;D Do I have a problem when I already have a copy of the demotivational poster in the last frame? Took awhile to find a copy online to link to. (and I made the mistake of having safe search turned off when I did so.  ) I have it filed under FuunyPics/Demotivators/ on my computer.  You do have a point Kashmir, Sandusky isn't the best at creative writing.  Hopefully his special effects are better. |

Ok, I might be one that might not get all the references (I am not a fan of British Comedy) but I have seen enough clips of it to get some of the references (you probably hit close to half of the references I could think of off hand on Page 2 (the coconuts and cat-a-lot))
One suggestion, maybe giving links to particular references you use in the forum for each page...

I watched a little bit of the first part of the movie on Youtube today after reading today's strip and it began to make sense. I only hope I can find time to watch the rest of the segments.  Also, is it just me or is Kashmir just looking extremely handsome lately? I dunno, maybe it's the get-up he had goin' on. Now THAT is a scary thought....... |

Now THAT is a scary thought....... Having to listen to Sandusky sing, or having to Boo a cougar who is on catnip? ;D |

Oh this is indeed getting off to a smashing start. That one little guy is really trying hard but needs a little more time learning the lines. ;D I still think he's doing a good job though. Quite easy to get off track when it comes to Monty Python. Love the expression of the other one who is looking at the script trying to figure out where the heck to go from here and Kashmir who is trying as hard as he can to keep things together. What are those little guys anyway? I'm going through my Sandusky books and don't see them referenced in the past. |

I can't read the text in the comic book, the magnifying glass doesn't, and page to fit apparently doesn't mean what I think it means. Short of buying a bigger monitor, is there anything to be done?

The 1:1 (actual size) button at the top is the one you should press. This will show the comic book at the size it was intended to be shown, regardless of your browser window size or monitor size. You may need to pan across the page to be able to see everything, and you'll also need to press the 1:1 button every time you turn the page, but that should do the trick.
If that still isn't big enough for you, there is also a "larger version" available from the main page. The link is directly underneath the picture in the top right corner of the page. You'll need to use the 1:1 button for this version, as well.
Please let me know if this works for you. Thanks!
