Monty by Jim Meddick for March 23, 2024

Shoo her in, Effie! (Bogart, as Sam Spade, in ‘The Maltese Falcon.’). Beware, Miles Archer.

“She saw me sitting there with my stool tipped back against the cigarette machine and change of a fin on the bar, decided I could afford a wet evening for two and walked over with her hips waving hello.” — Mickey Spillane, The Big Kill, 1951

This would e good place to finish up this arc. Back to the Monty we all know and love on Monday?

Perhaps if the sign outside the front door did not say COMIC detective…

Hmmm, it smells fishy. The 1979 issue is The Savage She-Hulk, not She Hulk… It could be once again a misleading case.

In this case it looks like they deserve each other.

Here we go again. She’s wearing nothing under that coat, right?

This is why he got into the business, helping dames in distress

It’s Baaaaack!!!

“Samuel Spade’s jaw was long and bony, he had the chin of a Sea Otter and the mouth of a Giant Salamander. Nostrils? He had two of those. His had one grey eye and one lazy blue one that rolled around, all by itself. Thickish eyebrows ran across his face from one floppy ear to the other. His pale brown hair hung down— a Moe Howard haircut—half covering his forehead. He had a weeks worth of egg and ketchup on his tie. He was a peculiar fellow, to say the least.”

First paragraph of “The Maltese Puppy” just a rough draft.

I wish I knew where he got the pants. I want some…………..NOT !

I think EB3 would require a different effort to be made quiet.

She had legs that went all the way to the floor, and a case that I wanted very much to open.

Depends who’s asking…LOL

Hubba hubba, is that a dress or a coat?

Aha! The reason he got into the business just stepped into the room.

I always thought Eb’s voice came out of that speaker looking thing on the end of the stalk on his face, he has a mouth under there?

“She walked through my door like a tigress walks into a Burmese orphanage — strawberry blonde and legs for hours. No dame her age could afford a coat like that, and the kinda makeup she had on gave me a good idea how she got it. She had bad news written on her like October of ’29.”

“She had golden hairs, teeth as white as pearls, and the @sshole of a seven-year-old.” Borat (2006)

Let me guess, her husband actually took it to sell for booze money.

My hypothesis is that somewhere between 8.1% and 22.4% of comic strips are based on familiar stereotypes, but further research is needed. I’m looking for grant money.

She’s borrowed the other broad’s hair for the afternoon. :)

Oh Lord! Here we go again.

The word is spreading. I’m afraid it won’t be long before Monty gets into trouble by going against Disney. There is no escape from them.

Don’t like free speech I see

sHE Hulk, it had to be She hulk!
