Monkeying with MAD

The entire issue of MAD this month in monkey themed. The parody of Monk is Monkey, with the Tony Shalhoub character replaced by an ape. Spy vs Spy becomes Spider Monkey vs. Spider Monkey. Even the staff has been replaced by monkeys, as illustrated by Tom Richmond. Even if there’s probably too many poo-flinging jokes (isn’t one too many these days?), it’s nice to see that they are beholden to this month’s movie or TV parody and can instead throw themselves into something completely ridiculous.
