Then suddenly, without warning — a misstep! The cunning secret agent loses his footing! In an instant, months of meticulous planning could be lost forever!

But no! All is not lost! With steely resolve, the cunning secret agent draws on his advanced ninja skills, clinging to his perch with a grip of iron…

Oops! Thank you! (Dara caught me using the wrong word, if you’re wondering.)
not that I don’t love you guys…
I’ll be ding-danged! I always thought it was “shimmy.” Thanks for pointing this out, Dara–I learned something new today!
me too!
huh. me three. when I read “shinny,” I thought it sounded weird.
I thought “shimmy” was more of a dance-type move. Charro shimmied.
Did she EVER! That is the perfect example for the word shimmy ;-D
I always thought it was “shimmys ” Maybe it’s a regional thing ???
(pssst… i did, too!)
uh, not regional…shimmy is charo shoulder move…see other comment…
Look at that little body. Good thing the group is only inches from his feet. Great dialogue Mike.
oops – meant to say “ground is only inches…”
I meant to do that.
Did he stick the dismount? I suspect not.
G.I. (Gorilla Intelligence) Joe logged many missions before loosing his Kung Fu grip and dropping out of sight.
He will be missed by his partner, Jungle Jim.

“I got it. I got it. I don’t got it. I don’t got it.”
*thump*
“You klutz!”
“Goonies” ref ftw!
AND High Anxiety!
That’s what I was thinking. “I got it, I got it, I got it! I don’t got it.”
MOMMY!
Um…halp?
Yup, I was [and still am] rather enjoying NTM’s interpretation that
Even Secret Agents Want their Mommies, when Plunging into Unseen Terrors.
Hahaha “I got this!”
Okay rather than spy music I am hearing
George George
George of the Jungole

BWahahahahaha!
Great! Now THAT song is stuck in my head.

Hey guys, watch this!
Fortunately, no bunsen burners are involved.
Or oxygen tanks.
Haha, I misread the title as “Cluck and Dagger.” I expect to see an entry for this as well! :3
Oh, good; I thought I’d be the only one….
Cluck and Dagger? You must have been thinking of Shakespeare’s “McBeak”.
Brilliant photo narrating Mike!
PS: Also, I think pics of this fellow should be
put in the same chapter as the Sloth Pics …. He seems to be their
“brother from another mother” ….
How ironic. Planet of the Apes was just on t.v……
Just as funny if you scroll back up!!
No hovertext? Are you sleeping on the job out there?
There’s hovertext GALORE.
Do I smell a spy show do over ?
The man from M.O.N.K.E.Y. ?
Lancelot Link Secret Chimp ?
I can just gear that little guy/gal now thinking :
“But it looked so easy when Tarzan did it ” !!
I hope the Secret Agent survives to completely mess up the Enemy’s Netflix queue.
He looks just like Curious George!
