Ginger finds that he ends up with a lot of odd socks, almost as though they were disappearing in the wash. It's such an overused joke that's it's one of the standard short-hands for "bad comedian", but in this case the socks actually are disappearing, because they have been stolen by a monkey to build a nest.
One might assume that the monkey's mere existence in a strip set in Australia was part of the joke, but actually Ginger always has a pet monkey, so the joke is just the sock theft.
