Monty by Jim Meddick for April 21, 2012

In my city, the choices are (a) pay for a paper bag, (b) use your own bag, or © carry your purchases out without a bag. (No plastic option.) Imagine Monty carrying his embarrassing purchase through town WITHOUT a bag!

While I might not agree with her way of expressing it, Teenage Cashier’s diagnosis of Monty is correct, as we have seen over and over again….

in Monty the Dork Force is very strong!

Gee that teenage check-out girl looks like she’d be a good match for those people you don’t want to meet in a back alley.

‘k, dude, the subliminals in your speech aren’t dorky.you’re going to qualify as creepy. yep, the full monty

She is so wrong about Monty, he’s no dork. Dweeb maybe, but no dork.

Don’t worry, Monty. She’ll go back to texting on Facebook and you’ll go back to invisible. This never happened.

Is Monty a virgin?

The Yoko Ono lookalike? I’ve forgotten her name … but I remember Chimpy & Dave/Mr Pi … & even Robotman … You don’t think I’m too old for this strip? Maybe I should stick with Nancy…!

Hmm, once a dork always a dork? Can we try to outgrow dorkdom. I certainly hope so. Do we have to remain a dork? Do we grow from dorkness to dweebness? Hmm. Enquiring minds want to know.

Actually, these so-called dorks are actually geeks or nerds. They’re the ones who are wizards when it comes to computers, literature, and science, plus complicated math. Respect them.
