Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Alt text - two panel comic. First panel, some kind of baboon is in a gas station using an ATM. Second panel, the baboon is smiling and throwing up double gnarly hand gestures at seeing its account balance is 4 raspberries.

The description calling it double gnarly hand gestures is tops

Can someone explain the humor?

There were experiments a few years ago that attempted to see if some primates could learn the concept of money. A coin could be used in exchange for a piece of fruit. Some primates were able to understand that the coin represented fruit.

Those primates discovered prostitution soon after.

I don't think it's meant to be funny.

It is, however, pretty rad.

Petah, why is that baboon so happy about his raspberries?

[–] Wallaby@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I'd like to think that 1 raspberry is the equivalent to 5 or 10 bananas. With 1 banana being worth about $10 US, baboon is doing just fine.

I kinda think this would be better with bananas

I only have three raspberries, but they're functioning as servers instead of providing profit for bankers who are bribing me off with a measly interesst rate.
