- This is an article about Monty Montahue, the comic strip character. There is a separate article about Bernard Montgomery, the British general.
Monty is an American comic strip by cartoonist Jim Meddick It began life as Robotman, but changed its name and title character in April 2001.
Monty Montahue is the main character. He is an odd, optimistic nerd who often comes up with strange inventions like Robotman, an intelligent robot that was Monty's best friend (until aliens kidnapped him). Monty doesn't have much common sense, has no taste in dressing and has a prominent nose but no chin.
Loco Ohno is Monty's on-again, off-again girlfriend and is similar to Yoko Ono. She has a cynical, artistic temperament very far from that of Monty.
Dave-7 formely known as Mr. Pi until he changed his name, is an alien from Rigel and serves as Monty's straight man. He's a very logical fellow, always deeply involved with studies of quantum mechanics and so on. He lives with Monty.
Chimpy is a talking chimpanzee that also lives with Monty. He always tries to show his own superiority to (or at least parity with) human intelligence and culture, but in fact is not particularly bright. He's appeared less frequently in recent strips.
Moondog is the only true friend of Monty. He's a chronic beer drinker, much like Barney Gumble of The Simpsons fame. His house is one of the biggest centers of entropy in the world. He lives with a cynical parrot named Pilsner.
