I’m Monty the Monkey, hello and welcome to my blog.

Raymond Chandler once said of writing:
“When in doubt, have a man come through the door with a gun in his hand.”
I believe that in modern culture we’ve replaced that gun with a monkey when wishing to create a feeling of frivolity and fun.

This blog will explore the ways that images of monkeys (and apes, gibbons or chimpanzees) are used in popular culture.
Please feel free to contact me about any simian sightings that you think might be appropriate for this blog.
Monkey out!
