This is our page for the monkey comic book. Don’t miss the new strip posted on Wednesday; Sandra and Woo has been updated three times this week.
- Caption: It’s always fun to watch goofy young monkeys in the zoo. But one shouldn’t forget that they are also quite clever guys.
- Caption: Orang-utans are one of very few species which are able to recognize themselves in a mirror. Some take a great interest in their looks.
- Caption: Shortly after a young Japanese macaque got the idea to wash the dirty sweat potatoes she was fed with in the river, all other kids adopted her behavior.
- Caption: More bananas!
- Caption: But most impressively, the gorilla Koko is able to communicate with her trainer using more than 1000 words in sign language.
- Caption: Conversations are a bit one-sided sometimes, though…

Woo in panel 3: “Oh well, there goes the neighborhood!”
Of course Koko only asks for bananas, they never taught her the sign for “freedom”.

One can have more fun than a barrel of monkeys (So that’s how they’re shipped?) by just checking the strip regularly.

Koko looks like she’s performing a jutsu xP.Oh and that’s not Woo,it might be a relative of his.That or just an obligatory raccoon.

I’ve read that Koko could act like an interpreter between Human speech and what the other apes were saying. What conversations happened via this interpretation were, I suspect, probably a bit limited in aspect.

Gorillas, chimps, and orangs are not monkeys, they are apes.

I may be late to the party but this comic sure was funny. I love how Koko used her impressive sign language to simply ask for more bananas.

Uh, didn’t other scientists who looked over all this signing chimp stuff come to the conclusion that they weren’t really communicating as their trainers thought? It was all just wishful thinking on the experimenters part.
The experimenter would see a string of not meaningful signs and ignore them until something meaningful came along. Not so impressive.
Like, they put a bunch of monkeys in a room with a bunch of typewriters and found that the monkeys crapped on the typewriters. A little short of Shakespeare.

Heh, sure is one good reason that we didn’t come from monkeys… they’re too intelligent to be related to us! o_~
