Joe and Monkey

Joe and Monkey is a webcomic written and illustrated by Zach Miller. It debuted on July 27, 2004. New comic strips were posted every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. However, the comic has not updated regularly since mid-2008. Usually presented in black-and-white with occasional color strips, the strip follows the horizontal newspaper 4-panel format.

The comic regularly features Joe Banks, a delivery truck driver for the fictitious Red Fox Delivery Company, Monkey, Joe's talking simian companion, and Kleptobot, a slightly evil kleptomaniac robot. Joe and Monkey spend much of their time discussing a wide range of relevant and irrelevant topics mostly from current events in pop culture and politics, typically interjected with Joe's slightly off-kilter view of reality. Kleptobot, as per his name, spends most — if not all — of his time stealing things.

In January 2008, Zach Miller stated on the Joe and Monkey website that he would be changing the comic strip from a daily schedule to Monday, Wednesday and Friday updates. He also indicated a desire to shift from mostly black and white to a full color format, though the majority of strips since then have remained black and white. The strip did not update from February 14, 2008 through to June 2, 2008 due to Miller's involvement in preparing the upcoming Dark Horse Comics publication of fellow webcomic artist Mitch Clem's Nothing Nice to Say.

After a long Hiatus (a year) the comic strip started updating again in July of 2009 with a new story that spans 157 pages.

Joe and Monkey is a member of a Boxcar Comics, a webcomic collective.

Guest artists have included Mitch Clem, Brian Carroll and Joe Dunn.
