Monty by Jim Meddick for June 30, 2023

Hey, this must be the guy who sold the fireworks to that former neighbor I posted about a couple of days ago!

Good for you Perkins- keep that Blowhard on the straight and narrow!

You Bill Clinton got me.

So that’s what Anthony’s mother looks like.

Small missile though it might be Monty, I’m glad you don’t live in my neck of the woods if you’re going to purchase that thing and fire it up.

I like Perkins!

I can’t wait for the ending of this strip, I think Sgt. rock’s real identitymay be revealed? Drop down & give me 20 !!

Look both ways before launching into the airport glide path.

Several years ago, a governor of Arizona made fireworks legal to sell in the state, but with the caveat that local governments could set their own regulations. The result is basically like it was before the law was passed- you can’t find any real fireworks ,only noise makers. Weird, but safer in the long run.

Local news program recently told viewers when fireworks would start going on sale and reminded everyone that while they could buy them, there were places it was illegal to fire them off.

Love this thread! Also – keep the two store employees – they are hilarious! Perkins has so much potential! Maybe have his as Sedgwick’s first cousin?

Why does it say, “Caution, heat-seeking” on the label?

Perkins, you’ve got one demerit! Keep it up Perkins, and you’ll find yourself in the brig.

Seems like a fun guy..

I live in Illinois near the Indiana state line. In Illinois fireworks are illegal (at least in the Chicaga area) In Indiana they aren’t. Illinoisians flock to Indiana at this time of year. Krazy Kaplans, a fireworks store, has advertising billboards around the area.

Does anyone remember “Smokey Joes” or “Uncle Tom’s Cabin?” Peeeeeeeeeeeeyusa! :)

When I was a kid all the kids in the neighborhood shot off fireworks. The lady across the street was sure all us hooligan kids were going to ruin the roofs on their two convertibles parked in the driveway. Occasionally we’d set a couple cold spent bottle rockets on her roof to brighten her morning.

You need a FFL to do anything with it. (Federal Fireworks License)

This is why all the rich kids are building their own rockets.

Perkins, you little busybody! I didn’t ASK for your opinion, boy! Drop and gimme fifty! Now!
