Monty by Jim Meddick for July 03, 2023

Can’t hide until the sparkler burns out anyway.

Sparklers are practical for lighting the fuses.

Poke him with the sparkler and he’ll see what a good weapon they make.

“Sparklers are the leading cause of fireworks-related injuries, experts say” Is the head-line on a local news website. You can’t buy sparklers in Massachusetts.

Time for good swift kick in the nether region for the wannabe DI.

Regarding Massachusetts and fireworks….

We’ve had 3 good rainstorms in the last few days, maybe the morons won’t start any wildfires this year.

Doesn’t help to warn these dopes, that just increases the attraction.

I remember playing with sparklers when I was a child and I also remember the sparks hurt a little bit but we all played with them. It was fun.

Good god, this militia man turned fireworks salesman is incredibly annoying.

I say aim that rocket at his jeep.

I don’t think Monty can run or hide

…and I’ll bet Monty is eating a turkey Hot Dog, too!

Save the hot dog and throw the sparkler in the street.

How will this series culminate?!

I wonder if you can write your name with a rocket? Unlit sparklers don’t work. :)

That last panel made me laugh out loud.

Monty. It’s due time to smash his face.

Or get your face smashed and sue.

Run Monty, RUN!!!!

Throw it at him and yell Catch!

Get ’em, Sarge! Monty is way too blasé about disobeying orders! Gotta have discipline in the force!

He may not be able to hide, but I’m not sure he’s even able to run.
