Monty by Jim Meddick for August 16, 2024

I’m pretty sure we’ve seen him do this before.

I want to know what bait he used!

Haven’t we seen the creature in a previous Monty?

They multiply.

Monty lucked out. Swamp Thing will release him.

And here we see that Jim can’t draw fishing reels.

The Creature Walks Among Us!

You should really stay away from the Black Lagoon.

Ddam invasive species !

Thanks for the free lip piercing!

The creature has left the black lagoon for the beach

I’ve never understood catch and release fishing. You’re just injuring fish and then throwing them, bleeding, back into the water. I don’t like fish that much and I certainly don’t imagine them to be intelligent enough to have complex emotions or any understanding of what’s going on around them; but, even so, catch and release fishing seems too similar to torturing an intelligent species for me to be entirely comfortable with it. Either kill your fish cleanly or stop fishing entirely. The idea that catch and release is some humane middle ground is one of thoze things that sounds reazonable when you first hear it but turns out to be utter nonsense when you give it any amount of thought.

And that’s my opinion. I’m pretty sure Swamp Thing has a more personal relationship with fish than I do. Seems to me that he’s likely to take an even dimmer view of fish torture for sport. I doubt this will be the diplomatic success that Monty is hoping for.

You just want to avoid having Leopold from Scary Gary getting involved. He and the creature are friends, and Leopold eats people.

I bet this happens all the time in Hyrule, probably why the last couple Zelda games didn’t have fishing rods in them

Actually, Ricou Browning played the Gill Man in the underwater sequences in all three movies. Ben Chapman, Tom Hennesy and Don Megowan played the Creature on dry land.

In this case Monty gets off the hook?

The creature does NOT look impressed or happy.

is this a yearly joke now?

At least the creature doesn’t have moobs! :)

You can keep the bait by the way……

Industrial pollution has led to this.

I thought they were at the sea, not at the Black lagoon.

I was expecting Sedgewick on the hook. Kind of left him hanging at summer camp.

Monty has been in the sun to long.

Looks like Monty has strayed into Scary Gary’s neighborhood.
