Curious George and the high tension power line : A cartoon story in 9 parts, on how a cute little monkey out of his depth gets turned into a stuffed ashtray holder.

One of the joys of having one's child grow into a teenager is getting to forward stuff like this to them and knowing that they have inherited Dad's sick sense of humor. thanks, troutfishing.

MadTV did a Curious George cartoon a few years back. A a claymation thingy. fairly funny, and a little disturbing.

I agree that Henry's Red Balloon is splendid. Horton Hires A Whore, despite a very promising title, was not as good.

konolia - probably not, but if the cartoonist had placed George in heaven flying around with little wings the cartoon might have lost a bit of it's black humored oomph.

Hells bells, troutfishing. A couple of days ago, you had me musing all day about the great fissure of division between creationism and evolution - now I won't be able to sleep tonight worrying about this poor monkey. It's all too much...

Was that the 'Furious' George skit? Well, at one point he went from being curious to furious...

Pretty good as a public service announcement: Reading this as a child's bedtime story will teach them never to climb high-tension wires ... and traumatize them for life.

was anyone else listening to MPR a couple weeks ago when some elderly women called in and stated that if she knew what she knew now about "george"... and it was possible, she would have shot her TV and hopefully that would have been the end of "george" ?

Eh. This could have been really funny if someone had been able to draw it in the style of the original. The lousy drawing tips you off from the get-go (even if you haven't come from this thread) that it's going to be some cheap shot at the story.

soyjoy - The artist's actual talent aside, I suspect there's a vicious flock of potential copyright lawsuits circling around a more faithful rendition. apocalypse miaow - monkeys 'R us™
