Monty by Jim Meddick for September 30, 2019

Well, he’s squirrelly enough.

He’s in for a Rocky experience.

I would have gone with “Awesome Possum”.

Don’t forget to sew the bottom of your cape to your legs.

When I was with the Bronx Zoo, there was a flying squirrel that no-one ever saw. The only way we knew he was there was, his food disappeared overnight.

…of COURSE you are…

That’s, NUTS !

Perhaps something more fitting his personality. The Troll, The Maggot, The Leach, or maybe The Hemorrhoid.

Definitely deserves his own comic strip now. How can you refuse a genuine super-hero?

I’ve got a better idea: How about “Goes Down in One Punch” man? Or “Faints at the Sight of a Gun” man?

Wait, he does have the ultimate super power: filthy rich!

The Moth (aka Arthur) already flies to help The Tick. (And why Amazon ever gave up on such an excellent revival of that series, I will never understand…)

Jarvis is gonna’ look silly as Bullwinkle…

Whenever this character becomes the focus, I check out of the strip. Can’t stand him any more than I can stand the weird guy in overalls in Chickweed Lane who looks like a bloated Dick Chaney. Otherwise, I love this strip for the most part. I just wonder why everyone’s so ugly!

I didn’t realize that flying squirrels were nocturnal. But I don’t care, step one is for him to spend 14 years traveling around the world to learn all kinds of fighting techniques, languages, and practical arts while keeping a low profile, so we won’t have to hear from him for a while.

hokey smoke…

The Owl is also already taken (see The Watchmen).

there actually is a Squirrel Girl!

Sadly, Sedgwick doesn’t know the first thing about superheroing. Is he a billionaire? I’m sure. But is he a crime-fighter? Nowhere near. He needs years of martial arts training, rigorous body-building, and gymnastics, too, to mention just a few of the requirements he currently lacks. Still, it is a cute costume….

Given his eyes he really should be Tarsier Boy.
