He draws, apparently! Check out his wonderful <a href=\"http:\/\/apelad.blogspot.com\/\">Hobotopia blog here<\/a>. He is currently drawing comissioned monkey postcards, and they are all quite wonderful&#8230; and cheap! Only 20 bones, you provide a name and he draws it, full color. I&#8217;m ordering mine tonight. Bingo Bango and his Magic Fez, if you were wondering.<\/p>\n<p>Also notable: Ape Lad has invented an interesting cartoonist parlour game&#8230; the one hour alphabet. His one hour alphabets are much, much better than the vast majority of a-z children&#8217;s books that I&#8217;ve read (and believe me, I&#8217;ve read a LOT of them in the last year)&#8230; and he did them in an hour!
