      Everybody knows when you take your girl out to dinner never face the monkey riding a scooter with a backwards hat.

        I don’t think that he’s actually riding it — the kickstand is down. I think he’s just sitting there.

          True, I mean I get watching a riding monkey but why watch a sitting one when your girlfriend sits as well? It doesn’t make sense

            This isn’t an “all else held equal” situation. The monkey is topless.

            EDIT: Well, ape probably. I don’t see a tail.

      Except that isn’t shown at all. It shows him saying something crazy is happening while he’s at it, it doesn’t show or imply that she is refusing to believe him or to look back. The comic ends with him saying that, there is nothing about her not listening.

      I don’t understand how you came to that conclusion. You just decided that’s the case even though it’s 100% in your mind and nothing else.

      Yeah but he always does this – if it’s not a baboon on a motorcycle, he’ll be putting cats in monocle-petticoat-ensembles and placing them behind her
