Monty by Jim Meddick for January 19, 2019

He had to wait until he got home to do that? if I felt that itchy, I’d be scratching away in my car in the parking lot, if not while standing in the store aisle even before it was paid for. P.S…..Nice coarse sandpaper in HARDWARE….

If he was in “Malmart” he could buy a shirt.

I kept wondering all this time why he simply didn’t wear a shirt under the sweater— as is common-sense. That last panel… I’m going to have to seek therapy now…

It’s quite bad when it makes a robot itchy.

Today his sweater has a knit collar.

And he could have taken the sweater off yesterday!!

Toilet brushes, what a great idea for a backscratcher.

Looks to me like he is wearing a shirt, you can see his white collar shirt under the sweater. You can see it better in yesterday’s comic.

Although I’ve been following this little story arc, I couldn’t help imagining today’s strip without its context. It makes it that much more awkwardly delightful!

Robots can feel?

He could have just bought a belt sander…

As my husband and I often say while watching TV, if there were no stupid there’d be no story. sigh.

Looks like he’s giving himself the old “G.I. Shower” treatment. Been a while since I’ve seen one of those.

YEEEEEEES!!!!

I like Monty’s “two-gun” approach with the (nice, new, clean) toilet brushes.

But why should a metal robot itch?

In the Army in late 70’s, they had two kinds of wool blankets. One was nice. The other seemed to be designed to optimize itchiness.
