3 Yeti: Join SASquaTCH.
3 Young Jane Goodall: SASquaTCH?
4 Yeti: Secret Action Squadron Team of Cryptid Hunters.
5 Young Jane Goodall: I'll need a public cover story.
6 Yeti: You could say you're researching chimpanzees or something.
7 Young Jane Goodall: But I don't know anything about monkeys!

2022-09-24 Rerun commentary: I don't think there was any special occasion or reason why this was a double-sized strip. I think it's simply because I couldn't fit the joke I wanted into the regular four panels.

This is a very rare occurrence. I do sometimes write jokes that initially need more than four panels, but I'm usually successful at trimming them down to fit.
