Monty by Jim Meddick for May 03, 2021

I’ve not been keeping an actual count, but my impression is that there has been a decline in desert-island jokes over the last year. I’ve seen a lot of things blamed on the pandemic, but that?

You mean this is NOT Monty Python’s Flying Circus?

I sincerely hope that if Meddick wraps up the strip he sends that little sociopath to a sticky end.

Jeez, you can’t even properly deport him to the mainland?

How cold-hearted can he get?

Even being locked up, would be better than his current situation….

Won’t be solitary for long. Monty and Moondog will show up eventually.

Somebody punt the kid over the horizon, please.

Straight out of the ‘compassionate conservative’ handbook.

Security certainly arrived TOOT-sweet!

Well, if I was in “man-a-drift” situation like that, I’d have to “insist” upon fair treatment whereby I be given access to a telephone for air-lift from the “little guy’s island.”.And before anyone starts on me, I’d also toss a name out at the “little guy” to indicate “we are like two peas in a pod” because I might just be more wealthy than him.

Yeah – pretty hard to make a funny cartoon with a full sized island…(although Meddick does a decent job of it!)

Today’s Far Side (from 1984) has one.

Don’t do it, Survivor! Challenge the decision of Young Master. And if his security goon should kill you, you will at least have died on solid ground and with other hamans around….
