Monty by Jim Meddick for October 08, 2023

Ummm … Gavin MacLeod died almost 2½ years ago (May 29, 2021) …

“Blast that cursed Love Boat!”

I use to say that every Saturday night at Prime Time (8pm-11pm) looking in the TV GUIDE schedule for something good to watch.

Exciting, and NEW!

This…this wasn’t a good idea. Really. The Love Boat hasn’t been culturally relevant in I don’t know how long.

The Love Boat promises something for everyone …

… Set a course for … an open smile on a friendly shore.

This is completely unrealistic. If Monty saw Stubbing, he’d ask about Charro!!

What is “Love Boat”?

I loved that series.

Had to Google “Love Boat” and “Captain Stubing.”

Correct, and no-one has a clue who Monty’s talking about.

By far one of the funniest comics I’ve read in a while. Especially the fact that Stubing is willing to tell the story.

It was a goofball show, but I watched it for a number of years and enjoyed it. I had a schoolboy crush on Julie the Cruise Director.

I’d rather hear Captain Eddie’s stories. (Non-Sequitur reference)

Never watched the Love Boat. I used to like Oh Susanna! With Gale Storm, which it probably copied.

Bigetey Boo?

Monty looks more and more like he’s being drawn by R. Crumb.

It must be the shorts.

I’m still watching reruns of The Queen’s Messenger.

Just what is a Garboard Strake

Another case of fantasy TV trumping salty reality. Sorry about that, Old Sailor.
