Monty by Jim Meddick for April 02, 2013
Transcript:
What's that? I'm making a wing-suit... Y'know... For jumping off cliffs and whatnot... Isn't based jumping nuts enough without making it even more risky with homemade gear? Nonsense. It's simple. Just basic physics, Aeronautics and needle craft... Thinka thinka thinka Um... Like the time you made your own bungee jump cord back in the 90s? There was nothing wrong with the cord! The duct tape I used for the harness had misleading load specifications!

I didn’t think Monty had the …um…c*j***s to jump off a footstool,wearing a helmet and wrapped in 16"-thick foam rubber padding…
He’s a base jumper?

Not that I’m a big admirer of adrenaline and/or testosterone fueled madness….
I just didn’t think that Monty possessed any appreciable quantity of either.(No offense, Monty.)

I think the point is that Monty has these “I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express!” moments, and has delusions of competence in areas he knows extremely little about.

Recently, E.B. has shown signs off becoming more Robotman like which is a good thing. Yesterday’s prank and today’s scolding hearken back to Robotman and Monty’s days as fun loving neurotics who liked and irritated one another.
Anyway, notice how today E.B. is recalling something from the 90’s when E.B. wasn’t around, but Robotman was.

I heard in panel 5, he sewed his thumb to the wing, but they cut the scene…“Creative differences” were cited…

Monty hasn’t actually stated that the suit is for himself. Maybe it’s more EBs size

How quaint! Monty, seated at his good old sewing machine, making a uniform to fuel his delusions of competence…. Monty is headed for a Big Fall, I fear.

you need to have at least 50 regular skydives under your belt in order to be ALLOWED to use a wingsuit…

My daughter makes stunt gear for the movies. She’d shudder at this.

This may be a dumb question, but what does Monty do for money? I mean even Moondog works as a security guard.

will he ever go back in time again? I’d like to see if he left the cave woman with a baby.
