    Yolked? Maybe that’s part of the joke, but you can’t trust anyone to use words right in a professional setting like webcomics.

    Ha. Nice. What is interesting about that scenario is the human would be loading up on protein (probably meat based diet) and working hard to gain that, and the gorillas sit around eating a vegetarian diet and have massive muscle mass just because.

      I was gonna object that it’s a vegan diet, because they’re presumably not gonna do eggs or milk, but apparently not strictly vegetarian either:

      Mountain gorillas spend about a quarter of their day eating, mainly plants. Around 85% of their diet is made up of leaves, shoots and stems, but gorillas can also eat larvae, snails, ants, and even roots, barks and rotting wood (a good source of sodium/salt).

      gorillas sit around eating a vegetarian diet and have massive muscle mass just because they metabolize different kinds of protein MUCH more effectively than humans do and also are much more physically active than the average human

      Fixed it for you.

        I don’t know about the physical activity. Gorillas are known for not moving around much. But they lack the muscle size regulation that we have.

        But what if the gorillas stopped sitting around and actually worked to build muscle mass? We’ve never actually seen a gorilla that was trying to get as big and as strong as he could.

        This would, of course, change if said gorilla had to sit at a desk for 40 hours a week.

          Definitely a little but probably not as much as you’d think.

          Humans produce a protein that forcibly limits our muscle growth and its impact is kinda crazy. Gorillas produce a bit of it too, but it’s a drastically lower amount. It’s called myostatin if I remember right, there is a dog that sometimes has a mutation where they barely produce it too and the differences between a regular one and a mutated one is pretty extreme. Look into ‘Bully Whippets’ if you want some interesting reads.

      I always thought from hearing it that it meant they ate a lot of raw eggs, since that is sometimes associated with bodybuilding. I guess it means you look like an animal that would normally be yoked together to pull a plough or some such

        Nope, just a homophone. Though several companies cash in on body building pseudoscience with that.
