Jim the chimpanzee is in a bad mood, and nothing is wrong. His friends point out his scowl and his hunched shoulders, then offer cures: swing through the trees, eat a banana, dance. Jim tries, gets crabbier, and finally yells at everyone.
Afterward he sits down next to his friend Norman the gorilla, who is having a grumpy day too, and the two of them agree that feeling grumpy is fine for a while. Max Lang’s pictures carry a lot of the comedy, Jim’s eyebrows especially.
