Monty (comic strip)
Monty is an American comic strip created, written and illustrated by cartoonist Jim Meddick.
Robotman
The comic strip began as Robotman in 1985. It originally depicted the exploits of a small robot from outer space visiting Earth, living with the ordinary Milde family. In the 1990s, Robotman left the Milde family and began living with a geeky inventor named Monty.
Robotman's origin was later retconned to having been designed and built by Monty and given false memories of being an alien.
Robotman's evolution
Robotman was a toy character created by United Feature Syndicate as an attempt at cross-marketing toys, videos, and other merchandise. The syndicate desired to have a comic strip featuring the character; they had asked Bill Watterson to incorporate the character into Calvin and Hobbes, but Watterson refused. The job was then passed on to Jim Meddick, who created the family setting and the other characters. As the strip progressed the design of Robotman changed considerably as Meddick's style evolved.
