Who needs 12 Monkeys or 26 Monkeys? MeFite A.G. Pasquella's new book is all about one monkey, with a question: Why Not A Spider Monkey Jesus? The independently-published book has a nifty cross-platform approach and features a killer cover by Michael Kupperman (Kupperman, previously). [via mefi projects]

I don't have time at the moment to read all the links, but I do want to pop in quickly and state that Kupperman's Twitter page is one of the funniest things on the interwebs. Talented guy.

I'm not so sure NIN plagerized that video. After all, they used an actual monkey.

Kupperman's Twitter page is one of the funniest things on the interwebs. Talented guy. Funnily enough, I met Kupperman through his Twitter page! I sent him a message and it turns out that he had seen something I did for issue 1 of Wholphin: I got paid to write absurdist subtitles for the Turkish version of The Jeffersons. Still the best job I've ever had! Kupperman thought my subtitles were funny so he agreed to do the cover of "Why Not A Spider Monkey Jesus?" He's a really nice guy and a total pro to work with. Anyone needing an illustration job should look him up!

recreating a photo to that degree is still plagiarism (iirc witkin took nin to court and won)

In order to work in the Google search engine you've got to be a very fast typist. If this is anyone but the Simpson's writers, he is stealing my bit!

Fuzzy Monster's a great guy, Spider Monkey is a fantastic read, and you should all buy a copy! Incidentally, my wife had a hand in coming up with the title as a big group of us piled into some cabs on the way to see Battlefield Earth on opening night. It's a long story. > I raise a tasty bevereen in your honour. A boozy blended one. In fact, boozy blended bevereens for all!!

I just came in to point out the podcast version of the 26 monkeys story, which is one of my favorites.
