Spare a virtual coin for an ex-leper?
First up will be a Monty Python game on Facebook, which is described as a homage to all the characters, settings and sketches and comedic approach that made Monty Python a worldwide phenomenon.
The Python team have been involved in the process, particularly visuals mastermind Terry Gilliam.
Tim Chaney, CEO of Zattikka, said: “Monty Python is one of the most iconic comedy licenses around, but there has been no new material for over 20 years.
"By acquiring these rights we will be transporting Monty Python into the 21st century, with a totally new experience for their unique comedy that will delight old and new fans alike."
This is a bit of a coup for the UK-based social games publisher, and lines up alongside other valuable licences such as Mr Bean.
For Python, the deal represents another experiment in new media following the mobile rights deal it completed with Zed earlier this year.
