Such a clever, inventive and funny cartoonist. In my humble opinion, the best comic strip artist of the last thirty years (and yes, I am aware of Calvin & Hobbes). Unlike Watterson, Jim Meddick hasn't burnt out and started to repeat himself. Amazingly, he still finds a fresh approach everyday, and, as someone who has attempted a daily comic, I know just how impossible that is to do. And he's been at it since the early 80's! I am constantly in a state of awe. Thank you Jim!

Found on an op-shop shelf and immediately recognised one of my favourite strips that the local Murdoch rag had foolishly discontinued near twenty years ago. Upon reading I immediately recognised why I delighted in Robotman so much. Left field, absurdist and light hearted. An absolute gem of a strip, which started to peak about the time of this publication. Right up there with Non-Sequitor and Piranha Club. Now I am catching up with the last 20 years of Monty (Meddick changed the title in 2001) on gocomics.com, I am glad this book reminded me of what was missing.
