INKTOBER 2024 Day #20: UNCHARTED.
“I struggled with the idea for this one for a while. I’m not even sure what my train of thought was that lead me to this, but I’m pretty pleased with it. I came up with a few of the famous monkeys off the top of my head before going online to see what would pop up. Davey Jones didn’t, but I had to include him because it makes me laugh. ‘The Monkees’ originally aired before my time, but I watched the reruns pretty religiously during the summer in the 80s, along with other ‘old’ shows like ‘Gilligan’s Island’. It’s all part of the stew that produces my sense of humor.
PMD might not officially be on the Famous Monkeys list, but hopefully someday he will be. That sort of a dream of mine. I mean, there is no ‘official’ famous monkeys list that I’m aware of, but I dream about Plunger Monkey being a household name. Not even for the fame and fortune, which might be cool, but because it would theoretically mean people are entertained by him. I’ve always felt the urge to leave something behind, to leave the world a better place for me having been here. If I can put a smile on people’s faces, make them temporarily forget their hardships, cause them to forget all the nonsense that divides people and come together to share an appreciation for my silly little monkey with a plunger on his head, then I will have had a small part in making the world a better place. Just think what society could be like if everyone had that goal.”
