My notes reveal that this 49th strip was “numerically noteworthy as there are seven members of the Brain Fist cast and they’ve now each appeared seven times.” Modern me is frankly shocked that I ever bothered to keep track of something like that.

Clever Monkey
You monkeys are too fucking smart for your own good.
“Oh me! What’s it all about!?”
“Oh woe! Why are we here!?”
Pfft!
I’ll tell you why you’re fucking here.
You’re here to apply those clever monkey brains to the tasks of feeding me, scratching behind my ears and bringing me drugs.
As soon as Cat Science invents an opposable thumb, you’re all gonna be history.

I had this comic on my fridge for a decade (at least it felt that way ?) until it fell to an ex-partner’s decluttering efforts (circa 2015?), and today was the day I remembered it was an e-merl comic. The cat it reminded me of is dead now, but I hope she landed in an afterlife with lots of thumbs and cocaine.
