Monty by Jim Meddick for August 30, 2012

Good grief! Monty’s got more pills than a pusher! He’ll be eating that popcorn alone again!

Lots of people have completely legitimate pain killers in their bathrooms. Since Monty is somewhat of a klutz, it should actually be expected.I think little miss Nosy Britches should stay out of other peoples business.

Wow, she really doesn’t like guys with back pain

Too bad.I mean, yeah, she’s a bit nutty… she’s definitely not perfect….not even very attractive…

but she has a trait Monty’s been looking for for months.

Something he’s been completely unable to find, something he treasures in a woman:

She was gullible enough to say yes to a first date with him.

Sigh… back to square one….

My sacro and my illiac have been in a duel to the death for six years now. I too, have pain killers, but I keep them on my nightstand……Mmmmm….pop corn….

Seriously, how come Americans all know so much about drugs? I love this strip, get the gag (misunderstood placebos), but have no idea what they’re talking about.Well, I do understand the fourth panel.

Don’t you hate people that stick their noses in the medicine cabinet (where they have no business going) and then ‘find’ things?

Hand-lettered was the issue. I think a legit prescription would not have triggered her response. Was she being nosy? Not if the bottle was left in the open or on back of the toilet!

There’s a way to load up a medicine cabinet full of marbles. Great way to find out who the snoop is when you’re having a party and they all come crashing out.

Poor Monty, such a big bottle of Viagra and so little to do with it.

If she’s going through his medicine cabinet on one of the first dates they have, he’s probably better off without her.

Yeah, what’s her problem. So what if he’s on Oxy? She looking for a purist?

Popeyes, yeah, we played a dangerous game….Most people come out OK, but sometimes drugs, (All drugs, even the legal ones) can trigger mental problems that would exhibit themselves anyway, sooner or later. Many mental problems start in the late teens and early twenties. The research on which is is the chicken and which is the egg is sketchy…I always stayed away from downers and speed. I never wanted to go up or down, I just wanted to go out out….

Before anyone jumps my case, I want to make clear that I’m not refering to people with true mental illness.

I wonder if she would have left if she had found the Viagra instead?
