Monty by Jim Meddick for June 24, 2020

And stop your Yakking, Monty.

Todays strip almost begs disbelief.

He needs a contact brain.

Do mendicants, wandering or not, have water buffalo? And where do you find one in Montyville? Maybe it’s a rental.

The robot is part of Monty’s home network. He saw him buy the yak on Amazon.

The robot says what’s that stupid looking hairy thing? The yak says, it’s Monty

A Mendicant. With Ox. That’s something you see regularly at the Walmart.

Where’d he get the musk ox?

I think he was on a Zeppelin album cover…

This seems similar to the fact that, if they weren’t monks, apparently the best practitioners of kung fu in old China, were beggars… ☺

Wandering mendicants have…

No glasses;

no cell phones;

no yaks (or whatever that animal is).

Monty is no ninja!

I dunno, he sold it to me…

Love love love the expression on the face of the water-buffalo. And I know I’m picking nits, here, but a typical “mendicant” wouldn’t have his own buffalo. More likely a begging-bowl.

That and EB’s olfactory unit is in alarm.

You’d best get a new nose too Monty.

does anyone remember the comic “Gru”?

Is that his begging bowl on his head?

And he did not dress as Groo?

(Extra points to people who recall that oft appearing joke.)
