Monty by Jim Meddick for June 01, 2012

At least they meant well. (Famous last words.)

Tomorrow, Monty will steal a lifeboat spot from Leonardo DiCaprio. No time travel was used to make this prediction.

The Quantum Foam makes me roam…

Now would be a good time to volunteer for lifeboat duties

Great job,Monty! [Sarcasm, for those who don’t recognize it.]Now, you’ll have over 1500 deaths on your conscience, unless Doc can somehow retrieve the Time Travel watch and transport you out of this time-line!

The problem is now that the whole Titantic disaster happened on Monty’s “watch”.

It is threads like this that show the irreverence and brilliance of Meddick.

There is an earlier strip where Chimpy is mowing the lawn and has written “L” and “R” on his hands.

2 days in a row laugh out loud.

… and make sure you’re facing the, er, pointy end.

There was a lecure on BookTV (C-Span2) and they stated that deregulation sank the titanic like it did our banking system. They used lighter weight steel plates to save money, burn less coal, haul more cargo. The steel plates were cold punched which weakens them. If they hit the iceberg head on they wouldn’t have sank because only one or two compartments would have ruptured. They built the ships longer, not stronger. It broke up at an eleven degree angle, not at forty-five. They weren’t expecting it to break up so soon. That’s why the band was playing on the deck. The life boats went away half full because everyone was expecting to be rescued soon.

Monty, the way to remember is that “port” and “left” both have four letters.
