Closed For Monkey Business

Back on Thursday with cool new stuff. Sorry for the delay, but I've had a tough day or so.

Steve, please make the Monkey;-) into a tee shirt. Assorted colors - you have one reader ready to open their wallet. Any one else like to have that Tee Shirt ?

I think the art is by Bill Elder from a old Mad comic book or magazine.

Anyone know for sure?

That's from an early Mad Magazine parody of the Today Show with Dave Garroway (Dave Garrorunway in Mad) and the chimp specifically is a parody of J. Fred Muggs, a chimp that actually appeared on the NBC Morning News show flashing, if I recall correctly, Dave Garroway's closing sign-off, peace. I don't recall if the chimp says "vootie" in the mag, and I couldn't tell you which artist drew the panel.
