Monty by Jim Meddick for December 10, 2023

The kid played him for a sucker.

Considering the adoption of the word “ho” into US slang to mean something different, should the GoComic censors, censor the strip for using the word nine times? :) Don’t you just love the absurdity of taking politically correctness to a new level of absurdity? By the way Ho Ho Ho have a merry Christmas everyone. Love this strip especially Monty, Master Sedgwick & Moondog.

The remarkable Velvet Jones school how to be a ho is an inspiration for all.

I’ve never seen a green Christmas elf before!

Eww, now you can throw it away…lol

I knew that is where it would be.

My experience as a kid with store Santas was, they smelled like old men and whiskey you bought by the pint.

Old men have an odor not unlike a old dog.

These days I hear ‘’Time for a shower, you smell like an old dog." that’s how I know I’m old. That and the mirror.

Saw that one coming from farther away than a Pastis pun…

From the annals of mixology we learn that the Fuzzy Lollipop was the forerunner of the Fuzzy Navel. •ᴗ•

But what fate did Goldilocks bear? Was she summarily dismissed by the sick elf?

Ho ho! Oh, oh! Monty, unbearded! The lollipop did it: “Santa” was just Monty!

Our Presidents “Green New Deal”.

why is his elf a goblin?

It took several tries before I noticed the child’s hand rummaging under the beard in the penultimate panel. It was because his head was not turned in that direction.

Does anybody ever actually laff like “ho ho ho” in real life?

Monty’s got a licker problem.
