Monty by Jim Meddick for July 19, 2022

To be fair, he was floundering.

Wet behind the ears

They need to give the little twerp his own spin-off comic strip and call it “tRump, the early years”. The similarities are almost disturbing.

Okay, the counter-punches may commence. ;-)

One of the presidents of a company I worked for bragged about his black belt status. I think his Sensei made a lotta Money……

Tadpole? About right. Probably more of a pole than he will ever have.

Let the little $%&# drown.

Dash it all! What’s the point of an aristocracy if the peasants don’t know their place?

That girl hasn’t learned that scruples get you nowhere.

Crybaby. I used to dream of being a Tadpole.

Looks like Sedgie’s nose has enlarged. Nasty little bugger is getting uglier and wow did he actually get demoted? hahahahahahaha.

When it came to swimming I never made it past “rock”. I sank like one every time i got into the water, and still do.

“Tomorrow we’ll work on treading water with this concrete block strapped to your ankles…”

Tadpole is perfect for Sedgie, He’s going to look like a frog anyway, what he needs is the new Ronco Posterior Propeller, batteries not included.

Sedgewick is kind of fascinating. I guess because of the truth of it. As much reportage as humor.

HA! the realization that he has no authority in a situation, go ahead and waste a few tens of thousands of your dad’s dollars on a pointless fight. Also I would have been tempted to give him the advanced title, maybe it would have caused him to drown trying to take on a tough swimming challenge, like an amateur skier going down a black diamond slope because they didn’t trip on the bunny hill.

Tadpole? Lucky! I never made it past “larva”

How humiliating.

They need a shark to turn a tadpole into a flounder…

Flounder would seem appropriate for those movements.

I honestly enjoyed Squirrel Monty more than I do this twerp.

He’s as welcome as a t*rd in the punchbowl. (sorry, the offensive word police banned the word I wanted)

And that was a gift…..

I see the monogrammed towel in the last panel. “S” for Sedgewick, but what is the “N” for???? Neville? Nutcase? ? :)

The only thing that was “superbly executed” was Segie’s demotion to tadpole.

you DO know Mr. Meddick IS mocking the rich, AND, nice catch, maybe he IS parodying t/rump

No, Jarvis! Let the Tadpole flounder around on his own until he requires the lifeguards to revive him. Maybe he’ll learn a lesson in humility (no, I am not on drugs!)….
