We're Pretty Ok By Monkeys, Generally
That's the final installation of Monkey's Hate You which was recently axed from the Stranger.
Here's the artist's call to arms:
My crappy cartoon just got the boot from THE STRANGER. Probably because it sucked. Here is the final one.I am calling on all Seattle-based fans to riot!! I expect all three of them to *represent*!!

Should Seattlest pick it up? You may not know this, but Seattlest once had a regular comic (which we'd link to but it seems to have disappeared from the archives) and the best thing that ever happened to the guy was when we stopped publishing his work. Now he's in the Stranger (which we'd link to but it seems that their comics aren't online). It was called "Death of the Party" or something.
And in other The Kite Runner news: Starbucks might be tapping the book as its next movie to follow the spelling bee thing and the, uh, other one....whatever it was.

I like the monkeys!
*Seriously*!! Me too!! And not just because I'm the dude who makes these lame cartoons!!

I *love* the monkeys, and my co-workers and I were crushed when they were axed from the paper. So all 4 of us would love to see the monkeys on here.
I say yes!
to tell you the truth, i only read the stranger online, so i haven't really seen much of this monkey business. (oh that was really bad). however, i think this particular posted monkey comic is hilarious. so i say pick em up! pick em up!
Is that an errant apostrophe, or is it really called Monkey's Hate You? Editorial minds want to know.
Yes please! I loved the monkeys and would love them even more online here than I did in print there.
Another happy vote for the monkeys, their generically striped domestic beers, and their sneering pop-cultural disdain. Love 'em, need my monkey fix!
No Monkeys, No PEACE!! I'm gonna jam the Space Needle up someone's ass!! Just kidding, it's Jimmy the idiot cartoonist again...love jimmy
Hi I'm a monkey and these monkeys are the only thing keeping me from killing my keepers and stabbing Seattle with a space needle so PLEASE run them for me.
@6, the problem stems from my inability to pluralize monkey. I go "monkies" every single time, and it looks totally wrong and then I somehow throw an apostrophe in there during the correction.
The monkeys are awesome. Please run 'em.
+1 monkeys
So I'm the ONLY one here who thinks this is stupid?
My advice to Jimmy: don't quit your day job. Though at least you're aware that it's lame...
The monkeys promise to be much funnier and less lame in the future. It doesn't sound like the Seattlest.com wants to run them going forward...I'll have to think of where they oughta go...

Booo on you Seattlest! How many Yay Monkeys votes did you need? Come on, give us the monkeys!
don't boo 'em--I think they've come around. Stay tuned, and thanks for all the yays.
xo jimmy & the monkeys
The monkeys crack my shit up. Please start running them regularly!
Jim's powerful with platforms. Give them all to him.

Hey, I haven't forgotten... still awaiting some good news on the Monkey Front! Sorry if I prematurely booed.
