Since tying up of the “monkey in the closet” storyline, we weren’t planning on doing another monkey strip for quite some time. That was before we learned about Monkey Day and the Monkey Day Webcomic Blog. It was too good of an opportunity to pass up, so we decided to jump on the bandwagon. It took a bit of improvisation, since we didn’t want another out-of-continuity strip. We wanted something that could fit into the actual history, but wouldn’t throw off what we have planned for the near future. Thus, this strip. Since we’re in the middle of the Mr. Smiley/Nyanko storyline, we’re initially listing it as a bonus, and it’s permanent strip number will be determined after we wrap that mini-arch up. Don’t worry though, we’re not going to cheat and insert this comic in place of a regular update. Instead, it will be in addition to any planned strip.

Hooray for Monkey Day!
