Monty by Jim Meddick for February 05, 2024

Ya gotta start somewhere!

Another undertaking that is doomed to failure.

I can’t wait to see what Monty is preparing for, base camp on Mt. Everest?

I love the goggles, surely essential equipment for bathtime.

after a workout I stand under the cold water until it gets hot it is refreshing

Some athletes take ice baths when sore after intense workouts (hard long runs for example). I’ve been sore from workouts before, but never that sore.

Looks like Monty has 3 man boobs in the last panel! ( Which is funnier than today’s comic…)

I have had multiple corrective knee surgeries over the years. After my 3rd my physiotherapist had me alternate between ice baths and the hot tub to “shock” the tissue and reduce swelling. I went from it being a year before they expected me to walk unassisted to running in 8 months. It’s darned uncomfortable, but it does work.

I can understand the value of ice packs for a sore knee or wrist, but isn’t it overkill to administer ice to the entire body if it doesn’t all need it?

He could add some herbal tea to his bathwater. I hear that can add some benefits as well. Then when he adds the ice cube(s) he’ll have an iced tea bath.

Go on, EB. Slip the whole tray in there! :)

How’s Monty gonna know he got shrinkage?

Ah yes; cures from the Internet School of Medicine. You get exactly the care you deserve.

I started my new walking regimen by going over to the window, looking outside, and saying “Nah.” Took me 10 steps.
