Some guy goes to the Monster Shop to become a pushmi-pullyu, the weird two-headed llama-like creature from "Dr. Dolittle". (Oh, apparently in the books, the pm-py has one gazelle head and one unicorn head. But they didn't use that in the 1967 movie, so now nobody knows about it and I learned it just now, too late to change this cartoon. Oh well.)
You know, I've never gone into much detail about the whole transaction process at the Monster Shop. This is mainly so the comic will be like six panels long instead of sixTEEN. I also tend to leave out details not immediately pertinent, like her computer if she's not tapping on it, or the tote bags she gives customers. But it occurs to me this might confuse people, so here are all the steps that happen when you go to the Monster Shop to get monsterized:
Go in, tell Rachel what sort of thing you'd like to be.
Rachel takes a "before" photo of you, then gives you a form on a clipboard to fill out and points you to a nearby table with a catalog on it.
Peruse the catalog.
Fill out the form with your name, address & phone number, and numbers and descriptions from the catalog for your desired monster form (basic type of creature, basic body structure, modifiers such as number of arms, legs, heads, eyes, etc., genitalia, colors of skin, fur, feathers, etc., special markings, any necessary clothing, and so on).
Give Rachel the form and let her start programming the details into her computer.
Take everything out of your pockets and put it on a tray (wallet, keys, phone, etc.)
Pay for the transaction. Prices tend to be: $50 for a regular monster. $75 for a custom design (i.e., something that can't be built from the catalog). $75 for licensed characters, such as Tails or a Minion. (Really? You wanna be a Minion? Well, who am I to judge?... Ya weirdo.)
Wait until Rachel tells you to stand on the X. (The X used to be a circle, but that confused people.)
Stand on the X.
Let the machine zap you. You're now monsterized!
Rachel takes an "after" photo of you. Then she prints a special monster ID card with both pictures on it, to use in conjunction with your driver's license or other state ID in case you need to show anybody ID for anything.
Rachel prints out an invoice to bring back to expedite the process when (if) you want to be re-humanized, and puts it in a complimentary tote bag which she gives you. If you are no longer wearing clothing with pockets, put your personal items into the bag and take it with you.
Enjoy your new monster body! Here's hoping you don't have trouble driving your car or taking the bus or whatever.

Snrrrk...yeah, that’s funny.
But regarding the transaction process, I think it might be a better (and likely funnier) idea to have a single comic that shows all the steps. A “How To Monster Shop” guise or the like... would definitely be interesting to view, its your call if it’s practical or not though.
(...and yeah, I agree. Who would want to be a minion?)

Cool, I wondered about a form like this a while ago, and then forgot about it.
Now they can talk to themselves in public!

Rachel can talk to the animals! Can she speak in Rhinoceros?
Who needs to, when the rhinoceros can speak English?
(Unless the rhino happens to be a foreign tourist who can only speak Spanish or French or something.)

I find myself wondering more how he (?) does every day things with no hands, four legs, and two maws. Perhaps such questions regarding non-humaniods can be answered in the future.
I know it's a monsterizer but still curious if anyone has used it to become a small house pet (mythical or real) or otherwise.

There are a number of ways. Secret retractable arms... prehensile lips or tongue... toes that look like cloven hooves but are actually prehensile... I dunno which method this guy has. Of course, he's probably just monsterized for the weekend. A lot of Monster Shop customers only go to get changed for a few days.
You've got this all pretty well thought out, yet still manage to avoid telling us how a pushmi-pullyu poops. Clever.
One of the heads of long eyelashes.
Does that mean that side is a girl?

Sorry, I don't understand your first sentence. Heads of long eyelashes?
Sorry, I mean "One of the heads of the pushmi-pullyu has long eyelashes". Does that mean one of them is a girl?
Does that sound better?
Does that sound better?
Ah, thanks, that's much clearer.
And the answer to your question is "not necessarily".

I imagine in this world people will customize their forms to increase their efficiency at their job of whatever it is they do
