On this day in 1940, a member of Monty Python was born, and one whose artistic vision—surreal, goofy and thought-provoking—makes him, with John Cleese, my favorite of the troupe.

When I think of Monty Python, the animation by Terry Gilliam always brings a smile to my face and make me want to do some collages with found materials (he makes playing with scissors fun). It doesn’t hurt that he’s a pretty brilliant director as well. I really need to watch Brazil again …

Happy birthday, Terry (if I can call you Terry)!
