----
I just discovered that each time I've finished an NB strip
(at least lately), I sigh as I open the "Save as..." dialog.
I don't know what it is: A sigh of relief? Of happiness?
Does anyone else do that when they've finished something?

This strip is kind of a landmark in that it's the first one
to feature a facial expression on the evil cloak guy. By the
way, I wish I had some kind of prize to give to the first
person who spots the movie reference in this strip.

It reminds me of a cross between Bill & Teds Excellent Adventure (or was
it the other one?) and a Carry On film.

Am I close?

Really? Interesting, I wasn't going for that at all.

> Am I close?

Nope, sorry. The reference is in a certain panel; not the one you quoted.
However, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure is one of my favourite films,
so I guess I'd give you some kind of second prize, if I had one. :)

Ever since you posted this yesterday I have had this nagging feeling,
that I have seen this scene before ..somewhere ..

But I cannot remember where , it just strikes me as very familar and this 
annoys the crap out of me.

It's the memory of someone else being in a hard to escape situation and ask 
the bad guy for a wish and he replies "I'll Allow It" after first thinking 
about it for a second or two.

Please tell .. I can't take it anymore.

I've heard that before. "Trying Something Silly Will Only Make Your
Inevitable Death More Painful." But my frazzled tired brain won't tell me.
For some reason I'm thinking 'phone booth', but that's probably cos i saw it
today. Give me a clue?

OK, since no one seems to be getting this, I'll offer a few clues. The
first clue is that you're looking at the right panel. Second clue is
that the film has some connection with Monty Python. Now it should be
painfully obvious.

Neat grail .. but the purpose of the Obascii is to promote the making of new 
and original art..

Still you're very welcome to throw this into conversion as a regular image.

I still can't remember the scene .. But I love Monty Python so it's 
extremely likely that I have seen it.

While we are on the subject .. I'd like to request an image of a swallow ;)

Would that be a European swallow or an African swallow ?

With, or without coconuts?

Brave Sir Robin ran away!  (No!)
He bravely ran away, away!  (I never!)

When danger reared its' ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled  (It's all lies!)

And He chickened out
And He buggered off  (I never did!)

Well, it's not strictly Monty Python. However, since no one is getting
it, here's the complete quote: "Oh no! It's K-k-k-ken, c-c-c-coming to
k-k-k-kill me! (laugh)" One of my favourite scenes of all time, from
A fish called Wanda.

A fish that might or might not be called Wanda.
