Monty by Jim Meddick for June 17, 2013

Semper ubi, sub ubi

manducare stercore plebes

“Write”, Master Sedgwick has been sprung.

Fasten your boring belts, folks, Sedgwick is back.

Idiot… (may I call you Tattooed?) ..I see you put your classical education to good use.

“ire ad infernum” is “go to hell”

Quibus Nutrieat – which eat?lost on that one.

Illegitamus non carborundum. E platypus hummus. Fidelio ad absurdum. Sic semper tyrannosaurus.

eat who?

“What food”?

For some reason I am suddenly reminded of this:http://youtu.be/XbI-fDzUJXI

Rats. No Monty for a week . . .AGAIN?!? Ugg

A more colloquial “ire ad Infernum” would be “e Orco” (imprecating it Old Style). So, Young Master is feeling his oats and stooping to a life of petty crime, ehh? It’s time for you, as his Gentleman’s Gentleman, to intervene, Jarvis!

Agreed- this character makes for a boring thread

Sedgwick failed Latin. The “quibus” thing is meaningless. "Go to hell should be “I ad infernum,” or “Vade ad infernum.” Pop quiz next class.

YAWN!

Sedgwick’s new crowd is definitely leading him down the wrong path. Neither “quibus” nor “nutrieat” are proper forms of their root words in any case, tense, or mood; and the correct command form of “ire” is either “i” (you [singlar] go) or “ite” (you [plural] go), so it should be “i ad infernum” or “ite ad infernum”.

Thanks for that, Old Man. I hadn’t heard that since my far distant childhood.

Hint for anyone needing help with it: the first line is pronounced “Oh, see, Billy! See ’er go!”.

“Carpe Diem, Alter Ego!”“Magnum opus, In flagrante delicto!”“Quid pro quo, In loco parentis!”

I’m going to say Quibus Nutrieat means Bearded Bastards, not because I have any authority on the matter, but because it makes sense to me.

Thank you, I can always count on the early birds to translate any foreign phrase.

Flashman you need to learn your Latin!

I love Master Sedgwick, he should have his own strip

Well, I’ll be taking a week off from this strip.

I had no idea that so many people knew Latin.

[On my chariot]

Si hoc adfixum in obice legere potes, et liberaliter educatus et nimis propinquus ades

Die dulci fruere;

TOMOTH

Oh – and “sedgwick est radicitus, comes”

oh he is funny. I cant wait to see a Saturday morning cartoon of him.

Jarvis’s baby blue gown made my day.

I’m with Nyder, I love Master Segwick!

The Sedgwick bits are usually pretty boring, but this new crowd he’s hanging with may change that. I hope.

1) Yay! I only read this cartoon when Master Sedgwick is in it.2) Ire ad infernum is ‘go to hell’ but I can’t make out the other one.
