Monty by Jim Meddick for December 17, 2023

Waaaaait you know darn well he verifies with the taste test. And will on the nutcracker. They just don’t show it.

Yeah…that’s eggnog.

He’s guano be more careful next time … right.

Because nothing says “Merry Christmas” like a cartoon about bird crap.

A bird’s gotta do what a bird’s gotta do.

Local news did a piece a couple of weeks ago about a flock of vultures that perched on a guy’s truck while he was out fishing. He returned and his truck was COVERED in the white stuff. And they had chewed the rubber off the windshield wipers.

Well, if you can buy into the premise a bird can not only talk, but hold cups of hot liquid in its feathers like they were hands and generally behave like some human entity, everything about this makes perfect sense.

Cut story on the evening news yesterday about an owl being in someone’s tree for 4 days before they found it. Tiny owl that even the family’s dogs did not find.

I’m generally not one to offer suggestions, even positive ones, but I’d love to see Prof. Xemit visit Master Sedgwick next year as the Spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Future. The Young Master certainly fits the role of Scrooge and who better than the Professor, master of time travel, to guide him through his future? Please consider this, Jim M.

PILSNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

♪ It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, everywhere you "go"♪

If your tongue has never got you in trouble than you’ve never lived.

Clever use of the word “matter”. (And clever of a parrot to figure out how to hold a mug by the handle.)

My neighbors bought a white car, so bird crap wouldn’t show.

Thoughtfully, Meddick does not impose the soiled Nutcracker on our visage. Still, shame on you, Pilsner!
