Page 63: Monkeys are Lazy
Saturday, March 8th, 2008I don’t care what anyone might say — I love this page.
CLICK HERE to see my mouse drawn MS Paint sketch of this page!
And by the way, you should all check out the following comics!
No Pink Ponies (entirely made by Marry Me artist Remy “Eisu” Mokhtar!)
Last Blood (written by me)
+EV (written by me)

Heh, bean bag.
Cute monkey.
March 8th, 2008 at 12:34 am
Woo, first post! And yes, monkeys in fact are lazy. We’re proud of that fact!
March 8th, 2008 at 12:57 am
Heehee monkey.
<3 Refresh Monkeys.
March 8th, 2008 at 1:11 am
I can relate to the monkeys…
March 8th, 2008 at 2:48 am
hehe i love monkeys
March 8th, 2008 at 2:57 am
Monkeys are lazy. That would make a great t-shirt.
March 8th, 2008 at 4:25 am
*being a monkey too*
March 8th, 2008 at 5:10 am
I agree with DaftOne. My immediate first thought. Amazing as ever guys.
March 8th, 2008 at 6:41 am
MONKEYS!!!!
I like the touch of the driver’s wheel position.
UH OH…womens only? Is there going to be some cross dressing coming up?
March 8th, 2008 at 6:51 am
The monkey would not be able to ride a giraffe like that. They would find the possition too uncomfortable and it could do damage to both monkey and giraffe.
March 8th, 2008 at 7:14 am
I think any page with Parker in it is one of our favorites.
She’s obviously tour-gazing and fooling around just to get his attention both at the same time. It’s cute for cuteness sake.
March 8th, 2008 at 8:35 am
lol, “Monkeys are lazy!”
March 8th, 2008 at 9:31 am
Shan, it could probably leave the giraffe to a more comfortable spot….
But monkeys are far too lazy to do that.
Cute page.
Travelling undercover in a food truck?
Women’s only village?
What happens with Denny and Guy? Will they dress up as women? Denny in drag? Will Guy change his name to Gal?
Just kidding.
Seriously, Guy does not look comfortable nor happy, especially when Parker does the pointy thing. I get the feeling he’s used to it though.
And Parker is annoyingly cute. Or maybe cutely annoying.
March 8th, 2008 at 9:37 am
@Shan — That is probably why the giraffe looks kinda grumpy
March 8th, 2008 at 9:54 am
That’s hilarious! I love Parker and her hypocrisy. I also think that the monkey’s hilarious.
(PS–Is the “now updating every hour” sign meant to be ironic?)
March 8th, 2008 at 11:43 am
Lets not start whith how something would ne comfortable or not please.
March 8th, 2008 at 11:43 am
Why does someone always have to contradict what happens in the comic?
Are you a monkey OR a giraffe? How do you know it’d be uncomfortable?
A small spider monkey like that weighs all but 15 lbs at the most..
People carry their 30lb children on their shoulders!
anyway,
I like the comic guys!! Very cute!!
March 8th, 2008 at 11:46 am
Wait.. one more thing…
How are Guy and Denny gonna get into Umoja if it’s a women’s only town?
o_0 … 0_o
March 8th, 2008 at 12:08 pm
Sorry about being a “w”itch Shan, I’ll be nice?
How do you figure it’ll be bad..?
I just figured since giraffe’s are built to have a sturdy strong neck for reaching trees and supporting heavy branches why it couldn’t hold a tiny monkey?
No harm meant.. I saw what happened to JT in the last comment section on the last comic.. XD
Idea! Let’s wiki and research it?! lol
March 8th, 2008 at 12:42 pm
If they’re going to a women’s only village, is it really wise to bring Denny and Guy with them?
March 8th, 2008 at 1:28 pm
Now updating every hour? That can’t be true. It was a stretch when it said MWF…how could this comic possibly update every hour? If it did…that’d be great, but somehow I don’t see that happening. Can you please make the update schedule at the top denote what the real update schedule is going to be?
March 8th, 2008 at 2:16 pm
yay, an update ^^
as for the comic list, i’m reading like 6 of them already…
waiting for updates and such.
btw, last blood could use an update ^^
this is just a friendly reminder (like you need one XD), not critisism.
For all who didn’t know Gary Gygax, one of the creators od D&D died a few days ago. He will be missed by gamers everywhere.
March 8th, 2008 at 2:30 pm
Best ever! Monkeys rock my world, and they are sooo lazy!
March 8th, 2008 at 2:32 pm
*ROFLMAO* @ PARKER
Oh, I do so love our crazy, zany Parker ^^
You guys are rockin like always
March 8th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
LOL and the ‘Updating Every Hour’ is probably posted with all heavy sarcasm. Am I right?
March 8th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
Is Umoja a real village? I’ll have to look that up.
Anyway, I love this page too, and I also like the “updating every hour” you added at the top. Hah! good job, guys.
March 8th, 2008 at 3:08 pm
“Is Umoja a real village?”
http://youtube.com/watch?v=meEz3qV_RRc
6:28 to 6:48 features a spoiler.
12:03 to 12:20 shows elepahants, giraffes, and monkeys near Umoja, and it also shows a monkey riding on another animal! But that animal is probably the monkey’s mom or dad.
“If they’re going to a women’s only village, is it really wise to bring Denny and Guy with them?”
It is, yes. Only women and children LIVE there, but male tourists and friends can visit, especially if they’re bringing food or buying things or if they’re friends of Stasia, who is their biggest supporter.
“Can you please make the update schedule at the top denote what the real update schedule is going to be?”
Never, since that’s impossible and entirely pointless. Feel free to Google this topic, which has been discussed a million times.
March 8th, 2008 at 3:26 pm
Hurray! I love this comic.
And yay, every hour. That made my day.
March 8th, 2008 at 7:28 pm
Gotta love the expressions in panel 2. Denny looks like he’s having the time of his life.
March 8th, 2008 at 10:11 pm
I love this comix as well as Last Blood and +EV, but this page seemed wasted to me.
I do not get the point of the monkey and giraffe(maybe in the future?). I get that they are traveling to a village, but I think you could have gotten more story down in this page if you had the first two panels and then them being in the village.
My opinion anyways. Good to see another update.
Thank you.
March 8th, 2008 at 10:14 pm
“I do not get the point of the monkey and giraffe(maybe in the future?).”
LOL.
March 8th, 2008 at 11:52 pm
I’m pretty sure Shan was kidding.

“I do not get the point of the monkey and giraffe(maybe in the future?). I get that they are traveling to a village, but I think you could have gotten more story down in this page if you had the first two panels and then them being in the village.”
Sometimes, a story needs to wind down and settle before we get back to the core of the story… yeah, we could stay on the core of the story the whole time, seeing how often this comic updates, but then, as a whole, reading “core stories” only would be kinda boring… this comic is thought up as a Graphic Novel first and not an Online comic. So we need winding down pages or times before getting to the core again and thus… MONKEYS!
March 9th, 2008 at 6:32 am
That has to be the sweetest little monkey I’ve ever seen drawn. Very cute
Well done and thanks so much!
March 9th, 2008 at 7:04 am
LOL… I LOVE Parker’s personality… its too funny… are they (Guy and her) not lazy too? LMAO
March 9th, 2008 at 7:04 am

Personally I can not wait to see what will happen, but that might just be me.
Anyways thank you for the update Bobby.
March 9th, 2008 at 7:30 am
So the spoiler is that they drink blood????? So are they going to have to drink blood???? eewwwww.
March 9th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
I absolutely love your comics! keep up the good work
March 9th, 2008 at 1:29 pm
Heh’, this seems like a filler of some sort, but also seems like it leans towards entertainment purpose’s.
:”3
Wait…
women’s only?
….Is denny and Guy gonna’ have to cross-dress? O_o
March 9th, 2008 at 4:08 pm
Is it me, or should Janny be saying ‘tell me why Christian is missing a tooth already!’ or something similar?
I got the impression that Stasia has been teasing Janny, deliberately refusing to tell her what happened to Christian.

March 8th, 2008 at 7:28 pm
Gotta love the expressions in panel 2. Denny looks like he’s having the time of his life.
I think he is smiling like that because of janny curiosity about christian’s missing tooth ( i would smile i little bit more devilish but in denny’s case that fit like a glove, i might be wrong but only bobby crosby might tell)
March 9th, 2008 at 4:55 pm
silly monkey hahahaha
March 9th, 2008 at 5:35 pm
Jenn- I was joking. See the wink?
I saw how bizzare the whole comments section got last time with the “Janny can’t lay down like that” thing, so I tried to make an in-joke about the “dangers of the monkey position.” Not to be taken seriously in the slightest.
March 9th, 2008 at 9:28 pm
This is my first time posting a comment! Any way I love the look on Guys facial expression…its a “get me the hell out of here look” LOVE IT!
March 9th, 2008 at 9:31 pm
Love this comic… and the updating is true… our comments are checked and updated hourly, aren’t they?
Seriously, Parker and Guy are giving the animals a taste of what the zoos are like in the U.S., with Guy being the dominant male sitting around, and Parker being the hyper, young female that bounces around and tries to get attention from the onlookers…
And now, I must paraphrase a “Weird Al” Yankovic lyric…
Stasia’s drivin’ a truck, drivin’ a big ol’ truck. Pedal to the metal, hope she don’t run out of luck. Rollin’ towards Omaja, until the break of dawn, drivin’ a truck with her high-heels on…
March 9th, 2008 at 10:06 pm
I hate monkeys.
I do, however, like giraffes and elephants.
March 10th, 2008 at 1:17 am
Lydia- How is it physically possible to hate mokneys?
March 10th, 2008 at 6:36 am
Pshht. This comic is so unrealistic. Pregnant women can’t go six panels without stopping to use the bathroom.
March 10th, 2008 at 6:50 am
I am such a nerd, but I was laughing my arse off when she said “bean bag”. My roommate thought I was nuts. The monkey is soooo cute!
March 10th, 2008 at 10:26 am
Haha could not stop laughing at this one. I love Parker. So random. BEAN BAG!
March 10th, 2008 at 10:38 am
And now Parkers acting like me, all jumping topics and such.
I find this amusing to no end.
March 10th, 2008 at 10:42 am
Jenn:
I happen to know for a fact that Shan -is- a giraffe, who had a rather harrowing ordeal with a monkey who wouldn’t get off his neck, despite the pain it caused both of them. I feel for Shan’s plight deeply, as should we all.
Naoko:
I thought the same thing, wasn’t sure if it was a real village or something Bobby made up so I looked it up on wikipedia - there are two Umojas in Kenya, a village 380 km from Nairobi founded in the 90s based on the principles of women’s rights (and it is indeed an all-women village) and there’s also a suburb of Nairobi also called Umoja
I would have never bothered to find out stuff like that if not for the comic.
March 10th, 2008 at 11:55 am
John M’s comment is funny.
But maybe she is peeing every six panels…we just don’t get to see it.
March 10th, 2008 at 2:28 pm
Awesome page as always….its always great to see an update.
Hmmm…wonder why Guy looks so upset in the last panel…unless hes jst angry from the previous fight.
March 10th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
Can’t wait for the next one! Monkeys are lazy.
March 10th, 2008 at 4:33 pm
Jon Pander- No! My secret has been exposed!
Thankyou for your sympathy. It’s been hard but I know that with the support of my family and friends I’ll be able to make it through.
March 10th, 2008 at 7:41 pm
Eisu: Really good job on the animals. Do you draw animals in any of your other work, or did you have any difficulty drawing them to fit your particular art style for this comic?
“Monkeys are lazy!” would be an awesome T-shirt. I might just make one.
“Nastee Says:
March 6th, 2008 at 9:01 am Hey guys. The comic still rules, but the “new page every m-w-f” tag should be removed if we see only one update every 3 weeks. Too slow for me. Sorry, I’m just that impatient.
Oblivian Says:
March 6th, 2008 at 10:39 am When will this comic actually give updates on the said m-w-f? I like it!
Lizzy Says:

You are all idiots…
March 11th, 2008 at 5:12 am
whenever i see a monkey be it on tv or in a comic, i keep thinking of that thing at the end of robot chicken. great work as always keep it up, cant wait to see where this is going.
March 11th, 2008 at 6:17 am
My love for Parker grows and grows :3
March 11th, 2008 at 10:58 am
Reminds me of the Barenaked Ladies song “If I Had a Million Dollars” — Haven’t you always wanted a monkey? Heh!!!
March 11th, 2008 at 12:30 pm
I certainly hope that comment was sarcasm.
March 11th, 2008 at 3:10 pm
My comment? No…it wasn’t sarcasm. There is a line in the song “If I had $1,000,000″ by the group Barenaked Ladies that goes “Haven’t you always wanted a monkey?” (As in if the singer had a millon dollars, he’d buy his girlfriend a monkey.)
March 11th, 2008 at 6:06 pm
I wanted a monkey when I was a kid, but they are actually kinda dirty animals, and most of them smell pretty bad.
March 11th, 2008 at 6:07 pm
OMG! This has got to be one of my favorite additions. Keep them coming!
March 11th, 2008 at 6:17 pm
LOL! ((Jon Pander & Shan))
SHAN! How come you never told us.. you giraffe, you… ((I figured you were kidding, just wasn’t too sure))
—–
Wow, you guys who said it are right though… Guy does look uncomfortable and kinda unhappy about shtuff… Is he still pissed about the Christian thing or just sick of travel? 0_o
March 11th, 2008 at 6:18 pm
Um, wowio sent me an e-mail saying that it is all in the publisher’s hands.
By the way, Bobby Crosby and Eisu, I love your comic.
March 11th, 2008 at 6:45 pm
“Um, wowio sent me an e-mail saying that it is all in the publisher’s hands.”
Very annoying. WOWIO is incorrect about that.
March 11th, 2008 at 7:50 pm
“”Do you draw animals in any of your other work, or did you have any difficulty drawing them to fit your particular art style for this comic?
Funny enough, I’m bad at drawing animals. Most of the time, even with reference, they come out really bad, but these days, with my day job as Storyboarders, I’m forced to learn how to draw animals because of the show I’m working on that might have need of animals in the show like horses and stuff, so I’m still learning.
March 12th, 2008 at 12:08 am
monkey…
March 12th, 2008 at 4:36 am
Jenn- That’s weird. I thought that you didn’t get my joke when in fact I didn’t get yours. And I don’t feel I should have to openly express my species on every forum I’m on. Do you?
March 12th, 2008 at 8:18 am
Hah, I just love that “Get the fuck off of me” look that giraffe has.
March 12th, 2008 at 12:50 pm
Shan (Now Shan the Giraffe). — It’s so hard to read jokes in the tones people write them in.. too bad there’s no sound file comment application.
why can’t reading sarcasm and jokes be as easy as detecting them speechwise?
lol
NO! You aren’t required to openly express your species!! Thats what privacy acts are for! XD
I think I’m beginning to like the comment sections on here as much as the comic itself…
Gosh, I have to get my own up and running… I need a scanner, fer shizzle.

Micah- Oh the hilarity!
March 13th, 2008 at 9:22 am
sigh, here I go again.
JessieM: I happen to know for a fact that John M. -is- pregnant. We went on a trip to Vermont and the guy couldn’t go more than a mile without wanting me to pull over at a f#%king gas station to pee.
And he kept wanting me to feel his stomach to feel the baby kick, and that was just awkward.
Especially with him wearing that wig and belly shirt…..
March 13th, 2008 at 4:41 pm
LMAO Micha…That did sound sarcastic when read.. holy crap.
XD
I didn’t mean for it to be.
March 15th, 2008 at 9:03 am
Well, Micah, sorry for giving some constructive criticism. If that makes me an idiot, then I don’t know what you must be for calling other people names for no reason. All I said was that if the m-w-f schedule cannot be followed, then remove the sign on top. Is that so bad?
And btw, I said “comic rules”. I also love the “updating every hour” sarcasm. Micah, thank you for your incredibly “smart” post. It got a few laughs from me.
March 15th, 2008 at 12:17 pm
“All I said was that if the m-w-f schedule cannot be followed, then remove the sign on top. Is that so bad?”
It’s disgusting, yes.

I realize this is highly unlikely, but when I was half-asleep and reading this, I remembered “The San Diego Zoo incident” from at the beginning before Stasia’s show - found myself thinking, “Of COURSE the monkeys are lazy! Stasia pays for them now!”
April 19th, 2008 at 7:25 pm
I… I’m in love with the last two panels.
I can’t even find the words to express how hard I laughed. I maybe even larfed. Who knows?
April 23rd, 2008 at 7:36 pm
“Repulse the Monkey!” That’s my favorite move from “Xiaolin Showdown”. Also, ROTFL!
May 4th, 2008 at 10:11 pm
I love this page, too! Smart Parker and lazy monkeys!
June 25th, 2008 at 8:33 pm
This is amazing. I love the whole comic, but this one is my favorite so far. Sorry for the late comment, but I had to tell you how much this made me laugh.
