A tear-jerking masterpiece that shall be remembered through all eternity. It explicitly shows countless philosophical meanings in the art style as well as the essence of the dialog. A tried-and-true magnum opus of human work, a tale of brotherhood, friendship, romance, suspense, that both questions the meaning of life and then gives meaning to it. It answers all humanity's greatest and most enigmatic questions in a mere span of 2 panels. The gorilla's dark chin signifies that trying times will eventually come and take something we hold dear, but his scoffing nostril shows that we must rise above those trying times and join this humanoid entity that has surpassed the supernatural. The scuffed line art on his shoulders also hold significant meaning that goes beyond the multiverse. Those lines signify that not all the difficult times from the dark chin will not come directly. Their trajectory in causing us pain and sheer grief may either come in both straight or curved lines. Yes, the curved lines on the gorilla's right shoulder signify the first half of this Yin and Yang of Tragedy that the Gorilla's art tries to let us know about. The curved lines represent the disasters and tragedies in our life that always come to actuality when we have realized too late that is has had a negative impact in our life. Meanwhile the line art of the gorilla's right shoulder show us the hard times that strike directly, ones that we understand have arrived to cause us nothing but pain, the tragedies we understand even before we realize that they have taken form. The gorilla's eyes which are above the nose may look simple at first, but it shows us meanings to our existence that transcends beyond the cosmos, and delves into how lives are just shaped like a skateboard that we are riding, as seen by the line that splits the arc on his eyebrows with the eyeballs as the wheels of the philosophical skateboard. The dot on top of that vertical line is our head, and the line is our body. Our lives are just skateboards that we use to traverse the path we choose. If we try and get too greedy when trying to do a trick, we fall, we get hurt, we experience pain. And it is up to us whether to get up and learn from that pain or continue foolishly hurting ourselves. The skateboard philosophy is further strengthened by the fact that if we traverse through life's path on our philosophical skateboard, we will end up living a dull life without performing any cool tricks along the path despite having been gifted the skateboard that is life. It just goes to show that people who truly succeed in their goals are the ones who properly and safely perform significant tricks on this skateboard.
