Monty by Jim Meddick for September 30, 2017

Smile, then run. This sounds more like the GOP at work.

Platypii already look so weird it would be hard to detect a mutant one …

OK, time to go now.

You would think they would love the ugly duckling. Since it is easy to turn around to be that it doesn´t matter that you are ugly, if you got money.

How about a story of “The little engine that could” thanks to a $10B omnibus amendment to a defence appropriations bill.

I’m soo glad I read this strip today, now I know there is hope for my own Mutant Platypi that looks like a Pitbull. Are you pondering what I’m pondering Pinky? I think so Brain, but do Platypi bark?

By a wild coincidence, the next comic in my feed is “My Cage”, which is about a mutant platypus!

“OK, I’ll do it. But only if I can make the plastic surgeon a jack-a-lope.” (See “Lunchable” commercials)

A platypus is much, much rarer and more valuable than a swan, even if it isn’t as popular as a decorative motif.

A ha! So now we know that Mr. Nuttingham is the head of the right-wing Legacy Foundation Institute. It all begins to make sense.

Platypuses.

Mr. Montahue had to decide whether he wants to be a well-paid but utterly controlled writing machine, or whether he’d prefer to be a starving artist with freedom of choice, thwarted at every new attempt to publish by the vindictive power of the LFI.

What is your choice, Monty? Soulless comfort or edgy freedom?
