“Tell your Master, that if he will give us food and shelter for the night, he may join us in our quest for the Holy Grail.”
“Well, I’ll ask him, but I don’t think he’ll be very keen. He’s already got one, you see.”
“What?”
“He says they already got one.”
“Are you sure he’s got one?”
“Oh, yes. It’s very nice.”
I never said he was holy. And even if I meant to imply it, it doesn’t mean he’s correct in all things. Who’s perfect in THIS strip?
Remember when St. George met Boody? He said he thought he had killed all of the dragons. That’s what he means.
Plus, it was a joke. Each comic has to have a joke or else what am I doing here? The grail started the strip by saying ‘never discount a myth, then in the end he does just that. That’s all. No deep meaning here.

The Grail, now that’s interesting! It could be useful.

Talky, isn’t it! And a fine one, not to believe in dragons!

I’m thinking it would be a fine thing to trade it for Boody

The dragon is on the flagon that holds the brew that is true.

The grail must have escaped from the Castle Aaargh.

The Holy Grail is an ageless mute wife who owns a package store. I’d say more but family you know.

They obviously need to find the chalice from the palace…since Boody’s in the dungeon tower!

Hey where is Karma’s great Hatt ??

the pellet with the poison is in the vessel with the pessel; the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true

Looks like Karma got out of the wrong side of the Go Yo…

Wonderful to read these comments. “The Court Jester” is one of my favorite movies and Danny Kaye and Mildred Natwick two of my favorite performers.

No. Now, go away or I shall taunt you a second time.

Lessee here. The grail say there are no dragons. There are many possibilities here.
The Grail is holy, therefore correct in all things, so Boody must be dead. RIP
The Grail is holy, therefore correct in all things, but Boody is still alive, so Boody is not really a dragon. OMG!
The Grail is holy, therefore correct in all things, but this isn’t really the Grail. So there.
The Grail is holy, but was hired for its looks and not its intelligence.
Justin has something up his sleeve.
Justin really messed up, but will have a clever comeback.

“Never discount a myth”? You’re never gonna make it in retail that way, my lad. You’ve got to offer ‘em at least 20 percent off list…
