Monty by Jim Meddick for May 20, 2018

It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing.

Stuck on ANOTHER ISLAND? Monty, Gilligan has nothing on you, bro. Stay away from the coasts.

You can also stand on it to keep your head above water when the tide comes in. Although that rarely seems to be an issue with these little cartoon islands.

Don’t trust that swing Monty! Everything ACME manufactures is defective – just ask Wile E. Coyote

When life gives you coconuts, use them to open boxes? Wilson !

“I’m just a-swingin’!”

Ah, deserted island Monty. There is also Doctor Monty and Scientific Monty (covers Lepidopterist, explorer, lab researcher). So many alternate universes.

Cartoon physics rule #4: packages and message-bottles always drift directly on-shore to a tiny island; unless the bottle contains an outgoing message, in which case it will drift directly off-shore.

Another variant on a classic theme.

Now you can use the crate wood to build a signal fire if you see a ship.

Good thing he didn’t order a hammock.

That swing won’t go back and forth because it’s not attached to a branch, because palm trees don’t have branches. It might go side-to-side, but how are you going to pump it to get it going? Guess Monty’s just going to sit there with his feet dangling. It’s a full life.

Ahh. A nice passtime for Monty while he waits for the never-gonna-happen passing ship to pick him up. Swing on, Island Boy!

Monty lives a charmed life.
