mad monkeys...

a few months back MAD did a theme issue: MAD by monkeys, for monkeys. as a result i was informed that monroe wouldn't run that month. luckily for me fearless art director ryan "sexy" flanders had my back. the result was "great monkeys in american history"...





the layout also featured headshots to go along with the illos and blurb. never let it be said that i don't know how to make extra work for myself for the sake of an in-house joke...




as much as i enjoyed the job i still think with a decent heads up i could have come up with an awesome "monroe vs. the planet of the apes"...
