I'm not thrilled with this one. Any suggestions?

Aside from the unnatural sounding dialog, it's pretty good until the 2nd monkey fails to bring the joke to fruition in the 3rd panel. Maybe something along the line of "we'll see how crazy you are after you're forcefed eight gallons of nail polish."

I changed it. I still am not happy with it though. Any punchline suggestions?

Or maybe "see how much YOU want to party after getting spackled up like Tammy Fae Bakker and passed around an opium den."

Maybe if Juan said: "It's me, Juan! ... From the Papaya tree! ... Back in the jungle! ...Long time no see. What have you been up to?! Still eating papayas like there's no tomorrow?"

Steve: "Actually, I was in the papaya tree and got shot by a blow dart and I've been in this lab ever since."

Juan: "But I bet you're still eating papayas like there's no tomorrow, tho', am I right or am I right?"

Steve: "Actually, they're feeding me some kind of experimental papaya today, so chances are there won't be a tomorrow...what about you? What have you been up to?"

Actually that kind of changes the joke though. Maybe it will give you some idea or something.

"But now that I'm off the shit, look at the crazy stuff I'm writing: To be or not to be ..."

That's great stuff mmyers. Well done. and kaufman, that's funn too. mmyers, your take really maxes out what can be done with the three panels and I think that's where I was getting stuck. Thanks.

I like it too, although I thought the original one was funny as well (well, the version that was up this morning). Glad you were able to make it work.

Bytheby, your monkeys in a lab stuff is hysterical. I wish I had thought of it.

This is becoming a lot like an FTC contest.

Have them turn into skeletons and say "Moh!".
