Monty's skewed sensibilities have earned the strip a fanatical following on the Web and on newspaper comics pages on six continents, making this daily and Sunday comic strip from Newspaper Enterprise Association a cult favorite among comics readers worldwide.

The Monty comic strip (formerly titled "Robotman") lampoons a wide range of topics. Explains Meddick, "I've tried to create the comic strip equivalent of 'Monty Python's Flying Circus'. The name 'Monty' is a nod to the influence that show had on my humor. In my cartoon, just about anything can happen - this way, the ideas and characters always stay fresh".

Monty Montahue is often at the center of this hilariously funny comic strip's outrageous story lines. A brainy, bumbling bachelor who's unlucky in work and in love, Monty shares his home with Fleshy, a hairless cat, and Mr. Pi, a super-logical extraterrestrial. The wacky cast of characters is rounded out by Moondog, Monty's beer-guzzling buddy; Loco Ohno, Monty's crazy ex-girlfriend; and Pilsner the parrot. Meddick is a former political cartoonist for Newspaper Enterprise Association, a job he started shortly after graduating from Washington University in St. Louis, Mo., in 1983. While in college, he won the Chicago Tribune Student Cartoonist Contest for his strip "Paperback Writer".
