Editing Monty (comic strip) (section)

=== Current cast ===
* '''Monty Montahue''' is the protagonist and titular character. He is an odd, optimistic nerd who often comes up with strange inventions and works odd jobs. Monty was introduced to the ''Robotman'' strip in the early 1990s. In 1996, it was revealed that Monty was brainwashed of his past life as a government scientist when he invented Robotman. Monty is typically depicted as socially awkward, having poor dress skills and has a prominent nose but no chin. He takes on various (often very nerdy) hobbies and daily occupations, regularly failing because of a mix of goofiness and excessive self-confidence.

* '''Fleshy''' is a skinny, hairless housecat resembling the [[The Pink Panther (character)|Pink Panther]] cartoon character. Fleshy is remarkable for his being the complete opposite of [[felidae|feline]] attitudes: he is goofy, fearful, unable to catch even the most innocuous of butterflies. Fleshy is frequently shown to be entirely uninterested while in the presence of people, but once alone, he shows his intelligence to be on par with humans. He has a son, who was abducted (and then returned) by the same aliens that took Robotman.

* '''Moondog McHorney''' is the only true friend of Monty. He's a chronic [[beer]] drinker, and his house is one of the biggest centers of [[entropy]] in the world.

* '''Pilsner''' is Moondog's cynical [[Psittaciformes|parrot]], who often seems to be smarter than his owner, but still hasn't managed to understand that the other parrot he sees in the mirror is himself.

* '''Professor Xemit''' is a [[time travel]]er from the year 2525 who came to visit the early 21st century and wound up living with Monty for a while and still visits occasionally.

* '''EB3''' is a cyborg and a friend of Professor Xemit's. Small in stature and painted white, he frets incessantly about the fact that he has a "P-word" (in his case meaning [[pancreas]], not what you might think it means). Monty often tries to reassure about his pancreas anxiety ("I have one. Doc has one. It's nothing to be ashamed of!"). He has shown romantic interest in a [[vacuum cleaner]].

* '''Sedgwick Nuttingham III''' is a privileged child who inhabits a mansion somewhere in Monty's neighborhood.  His only companion is his faithful manservant Jarvis, who does anything that Sedgwick desires, from carrying ammunition as Sedgwick hunts Fleshy, to serving as a human target for snowballs, darts etc.  Sedgwick's parents do not appear in the strip.  The characters have occasional contact with Sedgewick's father, but he is usually away on business and rarely home.  Sedgewick's Aunt Polly lives in the mansion and exercises some parental control, but is not seen in the strip.  Auntie Nell appears sometimes. The only other characters that Sedgwick interacts with besides Fleshy are various doctors and psychologists.  Sedgwick is highly conservative politically, elitist, and convinced of his innate superiority to all others.
