#2		Jason Nocera May/25/2008 @ 8:31 am	Great news! In my opinion (and I guess in others), Monty is the best comic strip out there today! It’s consistently funny day after day. Congratulations, Jim!
#3		Scott Metzger May/25/2008 @ 10:19 am	Cool. I love Monty. The illustrations alone are hilarious. This award is much deserved. Congratulations to Jim.

I have been following his work for years and am a huge fan. “Monty” (and it’s former incarnation “Robotman”) is one of the best strips I’ve ever read. I absolutely love Jim’s work. It’s brilliant!
