Monster of the Day #3405

Happy Friday Eve, everyone!

Man, Gorilla Grodd was older than I thought.

Why isn’t there a show adapting these crazy old pulp stories? That would be great. Netflix, get on it!

  • Beckoning Chasm

    Looks like the Showbiz Pizza bear.

    It’s the dog-faced pony soldier the president warned us about.

    Bear? Is it a bear?

  • Now is the gorilla trying to shoot the girl while the guy is trying to shoot the… gibbon? thing?

  • Eric Hinkle

    It’s actually a sapient baboon, if I remember the story right.

  • Eric Hinkle

    The gorilla is on the human’s side in the story. They’re the good guys, er, apes.

    Genu Homo! I read that novel years ago. Fun weird story — basically, a whole busload of random people gets trapped inside a highway tunnel when the bomb is dropped. They get knocked unconscious by some bus-riding scientist’s experimental hibernation gas and awaken hundreds of thousands of years later into a world where the other primates have developed intelligence. From that point on it’s about them trying to survive in a world where imperialist baboons are trying to conquer the peaceful rationalist gorillas.

    Ah ok, guess that makes sense. It looks like General Ursus is shooting behind them to me.

  • Rodford Smith

    I’ve seen bolt-action rifles before, but that handle looks like it belongs on a slot machine!
