Foster used a loaf of Wonder bread to represent the Holy Grail.

True. But consider the quest. Of what does it consist? A knight, a dangerous road, a Holy Grail (whatever one of those may be), at least one dragon, one evil knight, one princess. Sound about right? That’s a list I can live with: a knight (named Kip), a dangerous road (nasty German shepherds), a Holy Grail (one form of which is a loaf of Wonder Bread), at least one dragon (trust me, a ‘68 ‘Cuda could definitely breathe fire), one evil knight (Tony), one princess (who can either keep laughing or stop).
