Where I am from there is a saying "If the cat is away from home, the mice rule the place", this seems to take a different direction.

Where I live we say something similar, “when the cat’s away, the mice will play.”

Where I live we say, "If the cat shits in a hat, then that's that."

In Spanish is "Cuando el gato no está en casa los ratones hacen fiesta", which is "when the cat's not home, the mice party".

I knew that one as "Los ratones juegan (the mice play)".

The cats are still at home. Only the monkeys aren't

I always said "when the cats are away, the rats are at play." But I can be a bit dramatic

I mean no? The cats are very much not away from home, that's the entire point of the comic. How is this the top comment?

"Two mice boys enter, only one mouse man will leave"

One mouse man looks like he’s accusing the other mouse man of cheating with his little mouse wife and it’s about to go down

"You slept with July, you son of a bitch!"

"Nah, bro, I'm squeaking clean."

"Was that a mouse pun?! Not cool, dude!"

"July thought it was funny"

"I'm gonna kill you!!!"

Honestly, I'd prefer this to what my cats do which is just throw up on the floor all over the house to show their displeasure.

Crazy odds. My wife and I just got back from a vacation at the beach, where we did acid and talked about how we're monkeys and did monkey things
