Monty by Jim Meddick for June 29, 2024

I see some states in the US are banning helium balloon releases. I hope they consider banning candle bags too.

Too many trees in my neighbourhood to send candles aloft. Perhaps the seashore, if the wind is blowing in the right direction.

Let’s do it in an arid grassy area

Call George Strait, I hear he puts out old flames.

Dang….I was certain that it was going to get over the North Korean border…

I always imagine the way that the characters of this strip talk, especially these two. I imagine Jarvis speaks with a Received Pronunciation, while Master Sedgewick talks with a pretentious Mid-Atlantic accent. I can’t picture Monty and Moondog talking with the stereotypical New Joisey accent, though.

What’s on the 2nd floor that requires a Class B extinguisher? Class B is for use on Flammable liquids such as alcohol, ether, oil, gasoline and grease…..

The summer evening activity is more exciting than planned. It sounds like Sedgwick is gonna set Auntie Nell’s boudoir on fire.

In California, your “sky lantern” is likely to cause a fire and you could spend 4 years in prison and be fined a $1000. Plus, you can be sued for property damage.

Geez, who they gonna blame this one on?? :)

There go the French Silk Drapery and the hand knotted Qum Silk Tapestry rug…

Funny how today’s comics occasionally bring back long forgotten memories. I remember (now) someone doing that when I was a kid – long, long ago in a neighborhood far, far away.

Have we seen Auntie Nell before?

At least the one Sedgie launched was paper and balsa wood.

I always thought a “floating lantern” floated on a body of water. (See what I know??)
