Monty by Jim Meddick for February 24, 2019

Stuck on an island yet again! Monty! Stay away from those ultra-low-priced vacation cruise offers already, will ya?

lol Moondog’s puckered lips in the 5th panel lololol

Actually, I think when the coconuts are brown like that, you’ll find it’s mostly coconut milk than the water. Young coconuts at the right stage in the ripening process can be very sweet and delicious. I guess those guys brought along something like a machete on their holiday to open the tops of those things.

Just like the fruit juices you buy in the store, loaded with sugar.

Don’t throw out that liquid!

Do ya think coconuts grow on trees?

Well… OK… yeah… but just how many are up there?

It’s not like when they’re gone, you can drink seawater.

With your survival instincts, you’re really lucky this is a Sunday strip, so you’ll probably be home by tomorrow.

Snerks – and probably the filtering and oh yeah

water

I tried coconut water. I could only imagine water from a barnyard pond would taste better.

My father fought in New Guinea WWII. Was in 3 invasion landings, was wounded, got malaria, typhus. When I told him I was moving to the tropics his comment was, “don’t fall asleep under a coconut palm, those coconuts can fall on you and kill you!”

needs whiskey, ginger beer n rocks to make an Island Mule

“Anyway, back to my complete recitation of MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL, with sound effects.”

Need gin.

I’d really be in a lurch if stranded there (and I’d rather be in a launch). I hate coconut and all its devilish components!
