Monty by Jim Meddick for February 09, 2022

out of all the characters that have come & gone over the years, this particular person would be at the bottom of my list for becoming a recurring member of the strip :-/ We already have a character we “love to hate”! (Sedgwick)

Ignore her. If we don’t go on with our normal lives without fear, then the Tarotists have won.

“Don’t let Monty climb any ladder, ever!” sounds like more sound advice.

Well that’s going to make me new job as a light bulb changer difficult.

It’s strange that people who don’t believe in anything else expect you to believe that crap.

Do the opposite of what the card says.

Ta-rot!

I once played tarot solitaire. It was all fun and games until a black cat fell on me.

Sedgwick, Newage* Girl, and Monty’s next-door nabor are all stereotypes that Meddick is encouraging us to laff AT, not WITH.

*rhymes with “sewage”

Still that annoying roommate… now she’s even nosey!

Mmm, if she were truly playing Tarot solitaire, wouldn’t that be advice for herself and not someone else?

We’ll have to update the old song: “Playin’ Taro till dawn with a deck of fifty-one”

Are you still here???????????? :)

Tarot started out as a variation on playing cards long ago before it was given new meanings.

She got those CRAZY eyes! Watch out.

Roommates! Gotta love ’em, or else throw them out the window, ya know? The Defenestration of Blondie was in the cards, so it had to be done!
