This week, the contest's theme will be:

FAMOUS FICTIONAL APES, MONKEYS AND PRIMATES!

Entry deadline and the start of voting begins at midnight on Tuesday July 14th. Same rules as always apply, and aren't listed in Kurt's thread. Yeah. I'm lazy.

I'm a total sucker for the Legion of Super-Pets so, naturally, I'm in with Beppo the Super-Monkey. As I recently discovered, in his debut in Superboy #76, the character was simply called Super-Monkey and Beppo was an organ-grinder's monkey he encountered. By his next appearance, he was Beppo.

Cei-U!
Way to stay on top of things, Weisinger!

I like the Los Lobos version myself.

Cei-U!
Hasn't actually heard the BBVD version, though!

In my "research" for the entry, I found out that the Jonas Brothers are covering the song. I didn't check it out.

Crappy audio, but you get the idea.

Nice to see a number of orangutans in the mix. My favorite ape without a doubt.

It's Tuesday here, so I'm starting the voting.

Donald M for having the same idea as me, four hours earlier.

Cei-U!

07-14-2009, 07:06 AM

Mac Danny gets my vote because an orangutan flipping the bird is funny, dammit!

Cei-U!
I summon Sondra Locke and Ruth Gordon!

Spike-X

07-14-2009, 07:29 AM

Say, you know which character I miss from the Weisinger era? Beppo the Super-Monkey!

My vote goes to Cei-U this week.

And I'm kicking myself for only thinking of Titano the Super-Ape after I'd chosen my entry this week.

Tough choices with so many great Apes.

I have to vote for thehod and Donkey Kong.

I am surprised no one used the Evil Money from Family Guy, or Grape Ape.
