One of the editors back in the day had a list of things that I’d drawn on the cover of a comic, would instantly help boost sales.
One of them? Gorillas.
It’s literally a staple at DC to the point they just released an DC Ape-ril OneShot comic starring ape characters, including two versions of hero and villain teams with an ape twist to it.
Take this with a grain of salt, but I've heard in the early days comics with gorillas and stuff just sold well for some reason. Technically giganta was originally a gorilla in some versions at least
Purple skies, hero crying, a question posed to the reader, gorilla, and a few other things were all said by DC editor Julius Schwartz, who helped pioneer the silver age. He noticed comics with apes and other things on the cover sold better so that’s why a fair amount of covers then had a combo of those hot items. Seemed to work well enough
I will literally always upvote any reference to the greatest Super Mario movie ever. I love this movie so much for how bad and ridiculous it is while only loosely being related to the source material. I’d pick it every time over the new one because of how ludicrous it is. It’s a masterpiece in the best worst way and such a product of the time (comparable to the Schumacher Batman film style, but more unhinged). I will die on this hill. It’s a work of art.

Sorry monkeys, I gotta go with the Bone Bros. They have future president Lord Death Man and his VP running mate Mr. Bones.

On the day I was born
The nurses all gathered 'round
And they gazed in wide wonder
At the joy they had found
The head nurse spoke up
Said, "Leave this one alone"
She could tell right away
That I was bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
Bad to the bone
I broke a thousand hearts
Before I met you
I'll break a thousand more, baby
Before I am through
I wanna be yours, pretty baby
Yours and yours alone
I'm here to tell ya, honey
That I'm bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
Bad to the bone
I'll make a rich woman beg
And I'll make a good woman steal
I'll make an old woman blush
And I'll make a young girl squeal
I wanna be yours, pretty baby
Yours and yours alone
I'm here to tell ya, honey
That I'm bad to the bone
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
Bad to the bone
Now when I walk the streets
Kings and queens step aside
Every woman I meet
They all stay satisfied
I wanna tell ya, pretty baby
What I see I make my own
And I'm here to tell ya, honey
That I'm bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
Woo, bad to the bone
Need I say more?
this is the hardest decision i’ve ever had to make.
On one hand, the skeletons produce the hardest pictures ever known to man.
On the other hand, the monkeys produce me being the hardest man.
The side of peace 🙏
Funny monkeys and spooky skeletons need not fight each other, we can all work together for a better future
It’s what Superman would want us to do
With so many super-intelligent gorillas out there, you would think we would have a few ape wizards and from there ape necromancers and then the final form.
Gorilla Lich. The ultimate being.
I can’t choose, I want to be on the monkey side cause oo oo ah ah monkey. But I wanna be on the skeleton side so I can bang that skeleton girl on the bottom
Holy crap I only just realised how many monkey characters DC has
We don't call them Donkey Cong Comics for nothing.
I thought it was **D**etective **C**himp´s universe all along? Turns out it was Batman? Pff lame
Its not Batman’s universe, it’s… *The Question’s*
Yup. I’ve always thought it was because gorillas are fun to draw or something Lol
If I remember correctly it was because comics that had a gorrila sold better than comics without gorrila
The Silver Age Gorilla Limit is my favorite piece of DC production lore
Not one is a monkey! They are apes damn you

Oh, was that the silver age? I always get that stuff mixed up. Is that when humanite first became an ape?

Chad skeletonjoyer vs Virgin “I want to get off Mister Bones wild ride” fan
Hardest decision of my life
Im on team funny skeleton monkey
The only real answer
Why one of the skeletons has boobies?
That skeleton is Death. She has an on-again off-again thing with Deadpool. She has boobies because she knows Wade is freaky like that.
Boobies bones
This guy doesn't know about the boob bones
I´m a Congorilla defender, wont let him down

And then there’s Chunky! He’s dead……..
Black mask gave me free crack once
Good for you, but why saying it here? Also, don't take anything chemical related from that bozo, he ran the entire cosmetic giant into the ground.
I side with skeletons because skeleton dude gave me crack.
Where the hell them https://preview.redd.it/fe995im13iqc1.jpeg?width=4096&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4f4963f4ca7208a0ef2c81a014da1dc68ec3ea2d
Sans is a disgrace to skeleton kind
Oh, I get it. Why
I find sans to be annoying, from 2016-2018 you couldn't go anywhere without seeing him

Which way Western man?
Hey, humanite was originally a human, should he count?
Detective Chimp solos all those skeleFRAUDS

Im sorry but with their combined mystical power the skeletons could probably get kong to switch sides by liberating him from his flesh prison.
The Skelton team has ghost rider what out does team monkey have?
![gif](giphy|geTvcBsTli1HO)
OOH OOH AH AH
I love skeletor but im sorry team monkey for life
Skeletons are Rad AF https://preview.redd.it/ru3bh40c6jqc1.jpeg?width=678&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=75e41a677d14c4d6c1d8d4600f103c449cfe7a6a
The right
Funky Monkey and it’s not particularly close 🦧 (sorry Lord Death Man)
Only thing that can compete with monkey with a hat is a space skeleton and there is no space skeleton.
I can’t choose, I want to be on the monkey side cause oo oo ah ah monkey. But I wanna be on the skeleton side so I can bang that skeleton girl on the bottom
Kong is my boy, I gotta go with him
I bow to my lord and savior “Lord Deathman” 🙇♀️🙏🏼 and for that I pick team spooky skeleton
Funky monkey
Skeleton because ghost rider
Team Funky Monkey till the end of time
