Gorillas in middle age

Larry and Tom were two middle-aged gorillas who had always been the life of the jungle party. However, after a few too many birthdays, they found themselves facing an existential crisis. One day, they decided to take up yoga to stay in shape—though their version more closely resembled a wrestling match than anything zen. They hilariously struggled with downward dog, accidentally rolling into a pile of leaves and each other, grunting at how different they felt. “In my day, we just swung from trees!” Larry exclaimed, trying to catch his breath while Tom attempted to pull off a lotus pose, which was more of a lopsided tumble.
The sight of these two brawny gorillas in headbands and yoga pants navigating the intricacies of flexibility was a riot; imagine the juxtaposition of their muscle-bound frames struggling with such a delicate activity. Their serious attempts at inner peace were constantly interrupted by their own comical mishaps, making it impossible for anyone watching to take them seriously. It’s hard to imagine yoga being a peaceful retreat when your biggest challenge is not bursting into laughter every time you see a gorilla gracefully tip over in an attempt to find their “inner zen!”

It actually is a pose in body building called the stomach vacuum. Turns out sucking in your gut actually requires a lot of abdominal strength and muscle control

This messed me up so hard I thought the guy impregnated the three of them just by looking at them I was so confused

I think that’s supposed to be Jane Goodall, though she is most known for studying chimps. It looks a lot like her.

Yeah, I was like “why did all of these male gorillas suddenly get pregnant?” Only figured out what it was actually supposed to be after looking very carefully, seeing the blue breath trails and such.

If your first thought is supernatural mpreg bestiality, you should take a break from deviant art for a while.

I’m 40 years old and have been sucking my stomach in since the 7th grade. It feels unnatural to relax those muscles now.

It’s like ankle weights if you ever stop tucking you’ll unlock your true power

Weird, a Toonhole comic that isn’t actually awful. I didn’t know those were even possible. Although it still seems to be drawn by a 60 year old man, since that looks like Jane Goodall

I went to the gorilla enclosure at the Bronx Zoo, and the guide was pointing out all the different types: adult males, adult females, juvenile males, juvenile females, babies, etc. All of the gorillas were just hanging out, except for the juvenile males, who were all running around, rushing at the glass and pounding on it to get a reaction out of the people and then running away. They were basically teenage boys.

Humans got the gene that turns grass into big brains. Gorillas got the gene that turns grass into steroids.
