MONKEY BUSINESS

FOR REASONS FAR TOO INTERESTING TO EXPLAIN TO YOU, I'VE HAD TO TAKE A MOMENT (OR 3 WEEKS) AWAY FROM THE SITE. BUT NOW I'M BACK, AND I'VE BROUGHT SOME SKETCHES I DID SOME YEARS BACK FOR MY FRIENDS THAT RAN AN INTERNET RADIO SHOW FROM JAPAN. THEY WERE CALLED "3 MONKEYS PRODUCTIONS", WHICH MIGHT EXPLAIN THE CHIMPS IN THE PICS. IT'S CRAMMED WITH JAPANESE BARBIE DOLLS, FRIED SUSHI BOOKS, SAM ADAMS BOTTLES, MAC ICHATS, HOT SPRING GUNSLINGERS, AND VARIOUS OTHER SHOW REFERENCES SO OLD I DOUBT ANY OF US WOULD REMEMBER WHAT WE ORIGINALLY FOUND AMUSING ABOUT THEM.


I DID 2 VERSIONS OF THE SKETCH BELOW, SINCE THE GUNS AND LACK OF PANTS WERE DEEMED TO RACY. I FIGURED IF IT WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION, IT WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR DOODLES OF JAPANESE MONKEYS - BUT (SHRUG!). THUS, THE GUNS WERE REPLACED WITH BANANAS, AND THE UNCOVERED FURRY BITS IN QUESTION WERE HIDDEN BEHIND "THE GUNSLINGER'S" NEW BELT. (CLICK THE PICTURE FOR A BETTER VIEW OF THE FURRY BITS)


ULTIMATELY, I NEVER BOTHERED FINISHING ANY OF THESE PROPERLY. THROUGH THE SUBVERSIVE USE OF UBER-CUTENESS, MY FRIEND JESSIE DEVELOPED HER OWN MONKEY MASCOTS THAT DECIMATED ANY VALUE MINE MIGHT HAVE ORIGINALLY HAD. CHECK THEM OUT BELOW.



THE SHOW HAS DEVELOPED INTO A PODCAST CALLED "GUZEN RADIO" ABOUT LIFE IN JAPAN. CHECK IT OUT AT WWW.GUZENMEDIA.COM.

TODAY I LIKE: JESSIE'S MONKEY MASCOTS
TODAY I DISLIKE: OTHER PEOPLE'S DRAWINGS THAT MAKE MY OWN LOOK CRAPPY
