Poor King Kong! He’d have more friends and be invited to parties if only someone had the nerve to tell him that when he was younger. I’m sure that’s why he turned into such a recluse.

That was really rude, Gladys.

I wouldn’t monkey around, this is serious business.

“F*** you, b****!!! As they say, “The smeller’s the feller!!!”"

I don’t think that roll of Certs Barb has in her purse is going to help!

Never assume.

Monkey breath? That’s going to be my next go to insult. Dog breath is so last decade.

Someone shoulda closed the window!

“And jeez, Barb! Maybe cut back on the bananas?”

Wait until he climbs a little higher and then tell me what you think of the smell.

He seems to want attention, maybe he could try tapping on the glass.

Barb replies, “No, but I did slip off my shoes a few seconds ago.”

Fay Wray in his hand is getting a full blast of it in her face; maybe that’s why she looks so horrified!

Bleeb looks like he is getting ready to hide under the desk. Look out little buddy, the Big Bad Monkey might just think you’re a tasty little banana.

Kong, the only true monster, didn’t take any atomic shortcuts

That smell is coming from your general direction, you want to talk the last time you had a bath?

Old George Carlin line from the 70s: “Anyone can have bad breath, Marge, but you could knock a buzzard off a shit wagon!” And now on to the question of the day: why is the guy in the green shirt smiling? Does he like roadkill smoothie?
