This really is a brilliant comic. One panel, no text, and a tragic story anyone can empathise with.

🤔??

  • there is a song called here we go round the mulberry bush
  • in a different song, a weasel goes pop
  • neither song has a monkey

Did Larsson get his songs mixed up? Did he learn different versions from me? Is this from the nursery song cinematic universe and the monkey is from a third song? What’s going on here?

Robert7301201,

There’s a variation of Pop Goes the Weasel:

“All around the cobbler’s bench The monkey chased the weasel; The monkey thought 'twas all in fun, Pop! Goes the weasel.”

So the monkey is the victim of the popping by the weasel for being chased. I’m not sure if there’s a deeper meaning to the mulberry bush though.

Laticauda,

There is a version of the jack-in-the-box song that starts with “all around the mulberry bush the monkey chased the weasel” and ends with “pop goes the weasel”. That’s the version I heard growing up

I have a 4 year old who we struggle to get in bed at night. And he sleeps on the 2nd floor. It's just too perfect.

I sometimes wonder what Larson’s childhood was like.

Tantor is a generic name for elephants in Mangani, the fictional language of the great apes in the Tarzan novels of Edgar Rice Burroughs. In Burroughs’s works a number of elephants appear under the name of Tantor, most notably one particular bull elephant the ape man befriends in his youth in the first Tarzan novel, Tarzan of the Apes and in the 1999 Animated Walt Disney film he is a red African Forest Elephant and friends with the ape Terk.

Some readers took issue with this comic, calling a respected figure like Goodall a "tramp". While Goodall herself loved it.

The artist could have saved some time by just not making this
