The Tickle Monster
January 1, 2021 by J.B. -
If Mave were a superhero, her superpower would be the ability to tickle anyone into submission – or at least into a better mood.
We hope you all had a good start to the new year!

I saw this earlier on YT–that’s a lot of laughter from Ms. Honey B!
Do Honey B and Willy B ever do things to make Mave laugh, JB? Seems like Mave is the groomer, the tickler, the mediator. I guess I’m wondering if the other two ever do things for Mave, the way she brings joy to others.
Hi Linda – They do, but Mave does most of the heavy lifting in keeping the group entertained.
Thanks, JB. That was the impression I had. She’s a giver.
Gosh this video really puts their size into perspective. Their hands are huge and Willies length of back is looonnngggg. So lovely to see and brings me joy too
So funny! Thanks for a great start to the new year!
That was just so wonderful! When she grabbed the feet…!
J.B.! What do you mean “IF” Mave were a super hero? You mean she’s not?! I thought Marvelous Mave “MM” was her nom de guerre.
Thanks for the video, the theme music was perfect! While playing with Willy B, Mave almost went into full Tigger Oingo Boingo mode. SO cute when Mave grabs Willy’s feet as he sits there with his long legs outstretched.
This was a great way to start off the new year. My takeaway, be more like Mave, laugh more & play more in 2021.
Thank you J.B. for showing us the joy MM brings.
I agree with Kathleen; Mave IS a Superhero.
That deep laughter comes from Mave I believe???
She is a example for women all over the world:
strong, zen, funny, frogjumper, caring and the best peacemaker.
We can all follow her example to make this world a better place. 🙂
Hi Marianne – Yes, and us guys would benefit from being more like Mave, too!
That deep laughter you hear is actually Honey B…you would think it was coming from someone much larger like Mave or Willy B!
What a wonderful video, thanks J.B. There’s nothing like the sound of chimps laughing to cheer everyone up and Mave obviously has the skills required to make it happen. By the way, there’s a good example of Honey B’s spring technique that was mentioned in a recent blog…..it’s in the video of Willy B bravely going outside. She’s at the top of the chute, bouncing away.
This has moved up to first place for the tickle/laughing videos! Honey B sounds like she’s trying so hard to stay alive from laughing. I know how hard all of you work, not occasionally; but daily and really, there are no “easy days” with this spoiled, goofy, adorably entertaining pile of fur and hearts! Bless all of you. May 2021 be better for all of us, including the gang of chimps whose 2020 was no different than any other year thanks to the wonderful caregivers all of you are. Happy new year from a little iddy, biddy town in South Florida..
