Monty by Jim Meddick for August 19, 2018

And you interrupted the soundtrack, 4′33″ by John Cage.

Go back to “Lio” Beidermeister and leave "Monty alone.

Some real comedic tension? I was sleeping.

I just barely made it through all those words.

Prithee bestow upon us a veritable cornucopia, nay a smorgasbord, of logorrhea, verbiage, loquaciousness and verbosity, Mr. Meddick!

Speech is silver, but silence is gold

“Lazy is when you look at a Sunday comic strip, think ‘Too many words’, and skip to the next one.” ~ me

Just so everyone who is not from New York knows, Syosset, Long Island is a real place.

Wm the Penguin from the Antarctic writes: “PLEASE give Sedgwick his own cartoon strip!”

This is what would happen if all the “Sally Forth” critics had their way.

Just wondering if Meddick’s Mr. Biedermeister is secretly a plug for the Bagel Master, a well known store in Syosset

Someone must really miss Ferd’nand.

Au contraire, Biedermeister. The Sunday strips where Monty is stranded on a desert island (typically) and doesn’t say a word until the last panel are the boring ones. It’s Jim’s skill with dialogue that makes Monty the funniest comic strip in the world.

Nothing like being able to troll a troll and take the point.

Stick to Henry Biedermeister.

Tension? —I’ll show you tension, apprehension, and dissention! (With apologies to Alred Bester.)

Gimme a talking comic strip! I like words!
