    Hey, why don't I get Spider Monkey Day off? I think I need to file a complaint with my boss about that.

    I love your comic, btw. A friend turned me on to it about a month ago, I read all the archives in one night and have been a loyal reader ever since. Keep up the great work!

    Panel three made me chuckle. And Spider Monkey Day is a totally legit holiday.

    I'm Canadian. Why don't we get a Spider Monkey day? I'll settle for Beer Appreciation day.

      I'm gonna be honest, I read your comment too quickly and read "I'm Canadian. Why don't we get a Spider Monkey day, Eh?"

      Sorry. XD

    What kind of meals would you prepare to celebrate Spider Monkey Day? Sounds like it could get interesting.

    Spider Monkey Day? What an excellent idea. As a federal employee, I salute you, sir…well, I would, if I didn't have the day off. I'll salute you tomorrow.

    And now they've changed it to Discoverer's Day, which is even worse. HE DIDN'T DISCOVER ANYTHING! He explored, sure, but there were already people everywhere he went!

    Hello there, I am Paolo from Genoa, Christopher Columbus' hometown; your strip is funny as usual, but I will take the liberty to fiddle with it and substitute the typical Genoese interjection: "Belandi!" (which is a bowdlerization of "Belin!" which means "Penis!", used as you yanks may say "Holy Shit" of "Jumpin' Jesus" or something…) instead of the more generic "Mamma mia!".

    Oh and genoese people are notorious for being sour, grumpy and not talkative or expansive at all.

    😉

    Now you know! (And knowing is half of a battle completed by equal proportions of red lasers and blue lasers).

    It’s more historically accurate than “The Magic Voyage.”

    Funniest thing about Columbus? The poor bastard died without knowing he discovered a whole new continent.
