Monty by Jim Meddick for September 04, 2023

He’s stoop-ing pretty low for this.

He’s rocking it…

I don’t think they’ve ever said that.

What they did say is a porch has to have a railing around it and a slab doesn’t.

I suppose the offshore breeze will keep the mosquitos away otherwise you won’t last long outdoors.

Moondog has brought the beverages, if Monty consumes a few of those, I think his attempt at homespun wisdom will get better & he may see a possum or two.

A porch needs a swing

I’m not gonna call names, but what he’s on is technically a ‘stoop’.

I thought that Monty’s wisdom was pretty good

Nice try, but there isn’t enough room for Moondog and Monty has to move his rocker to even get in the door.

So, what’s a deck?

isn’t that more of a stoop? I suppose it isn’t since there’s no roof

Now get off my lawn you darn kids.

Well, there goes the home’s curb appeal.

Off his rocker

Oh, great. Another philosopher. :)

He could emulate LA Senator John Kennedy, whose folksy talk sounds equally nonsensical (and inauthentic as he was educated beyond his capacity at Ivy League schools). I would venture to say Monty will eventually be better at it, once he gets the hang of it. I know he certainly is smarter than the Senator.

Monty might be a redneck if his “porch” collapses and kills more than three dogs. (with apologies to Jeff Foxworthy)

Watch out for the little hellions who ruined Kramer’s dreams of an idyllic front porch!

no, but they can leave you a present on top of it

Thought I’d never say this, but Moondog is the very Voice of Reason here, while Monty persists in his stubborn delusions of a Monty-centric universe.

When I was a kid, my grandparents’ house had a real front porch, raised up a flight of steps from the ground and extending across the whole front of the house; there was indeed place for a rocker there….
