Comic Description:

Panel 1: A person with brown hair and wearing a dark blue coat looks sad, with a thought bubble above their head containing a question mark. Another person, a blue-skinned creature with a beard, stands next to them.

Text: "HEY! DARWIN?"

Panel 2: The sad character speaks to the blue creature.

Text: "WHAT ARE YOU SO SAD ABOUT?" "I'M BROKE, MY GIRLFRIEND WANTS TO 'HAVE A TALK', AND MY BOSS SUCKS."

Panel 3: The blue creature looks frustrated.

Text: "JEEZ. RELAX. YOU'RE A MONKEY. BARELY OUT OF THE TREES. LOOK AT YOU!"

Panel 4: The blue creature continues to speak, gesturing with its hands.

Text: "NOW YOU'RE THOUSANDS OF MILES FROM THE SAVANNAH, WRAPPED IN PLANT FIBER AND ANIMAL SKIN TO KEEP WARM, AND YOU'RE WALKING AROUND GRUMBLING ABOUT HOW SOME OTHER MONKEYS DON'T LIKE WHAT KIND OF MONKEY YOU ARE."

Panel 5: The creature encourages the other to embrace their nature.

Text: "GO CLIMB A TREE OR JUMP IN A LAKE. HOWL AT THE MOON! DIG A WILD FLOWER AND GIFT IT TO A MONKEY YOU LOVE."

Panel 6: The blue creature expresses urgency.

Text: "BUT FOR GOD'S SAKE, DON'T SPEND YOUR SHORT LITTLE MONKEY LIFE SAD. THAT'S LIKE FINDING OUT YOU ONLY GET ONE PIECE OF FRUIT, THEN PICKING THE MOLDY APPLE BECAUSE IT'S CONVENIENT."

Panel 7: The sad character responds.

Text: "YEAH…. BUT THE MOLDY APPLE IS REALLY EASY TO GET, AND PROBABLY CONTAINS ALCOHOL."

Panel 8: The other character gives advice.

Text: "MAYBE YOU SHOULD DRINK LESS, FRANK."

Panel 9: The sad character replies, looking hopeful.

Text: "IF I DRINK LESS, I'LL STOP HAVING VIVID HALLUCINATIONS, CHUCK."

Panel 10: The blue creature reassures them.

Text: "I'LL BE GOOD! I'LL BE GOOD!"
