Monty by Jim Meddick for August 16, 2014

Too true while the rest of us plebeians have to work for a living. I do believe Jarvis is slightly sarcastic in the last panel wouldn’t you say?

You can’t see it, but I have the world’s tiniest violin playing a sad little tune for poor Sedgie.

Even with all of those things, he’s still an ugly, short, fat, nasty little creep, with no social graces, and little hope of ever finding true friends or love.

Pity, Young Master is completely oblivious to Jarvis’s withering irony. Poor little rich boy! Destined to live alone with his money, bitter, miserly, unloved, and supported only by the Jarvises whose service he can buy….

Double entendre on the rocks, extra dry

‘Cracked’ the website has an article that convincingly explains how those things you think will make you happy won’t – see under ‘wealth’: http://www.cracked.com/article_17061_reminder-5-things-you-think-will-make-you-happy-but-wont.html

how I wish for a storyline where his dad goes bankrupt or gets arrested for tax fraud or something like that

Like the expression in the middle panel. The kid really looks sad at being unable to fantasize.

His mind is “grounded in the real world”? More likely the ground of the real world; i.e., someone scraped up some dung from the soil and loaded it between his ears…

As rich and privileged as he is, it is tragic that he has no imagination.
