This is a rather surreal story about a monkey in a circus that gains the mysterious ability to sing with the voice of a recently deceased singer, which is why the monkey is on stage. His impresario (the unfortunately colored green-skinned man in the top hat) keeps trying to keep his clients happy when the voice the monkey channels keeps changing.
From a visual point of view, that last panel is worth noting. It looks like monkey has three arms, but the two connected arms are actually two separate actions in the same panel, which one of those weird sequential art things that doesn’t always work, but is always interesting to see.
