Alt Text: 1 Man at duck pond: I envy these ducks. 2 Man: Just floating all day, not a care in the world. 3 Duck: Our water is polluted. Predators devour our children. God has forsaken my species. 4 Man, tossing bread to the unamused duck: I hear you pal. Quack quack, ducky want bready.
Strange look for a “man”
I was just going to comment on that!
Actually I love it, and find it a perfect fit, i.e. man being the monkey that frequently thinks of himself as being a lot more advanced and important than other animals, who still betrays his nature at every possible turn. Or something like that.
But man being a great ape, and great apes being a subset of monkeys, does indeed mean that man is also a monkey.
