Is it just me, or does anyone see this peripherally and think it’s Curious George?
 
CG is awfull, present a monkey like if it was a child. Confusing childrens. Darwinism. Worship of animals, on his way.

Curious George confuses children? How so? Lots of children’s books and movies have animals as characters. I think you are putting too much thought into a silly children’s book series.

I do not agree with this assessment, and wish to unsubscribe from your newsletter forthwith.

Curious George is awesome.
 
It always reminded me of Speed Racer. But I can see Curious George in there, too. 🙂

I know at least one mother who won’t let her son watch it or read the books, because at one point the title character lies. :rolleyes:😃

It always annoyed me that they called him a monkey. Curious George does not have a tail, and is clearly some variety of ape. 😛

That said, I did enjoy the books, and the TV series was alright for younger kids. 🙂

Hey, you’re right! All these years of watching Curious George I never noticed…

Heh…you know, based on his general look, the the way he moves and his vocalizations, I’d say George is a young brown gorilla.

actually everytime I see that picture, I think of Luke Skywalker with either the helmet when he practices with his lightsaber on the Falcon or when he’s in his bespin fatigues…, I have star wars on my mind a lot. 😉

But yes, I see how someone sees Curious George!

It annoys me as well. But I have the answer as to why he’s called a monkey. When the book was first written all monkeys, prosimians (think lemurs), and apes were all called monkeys. It wasn’t for a few more years that the scientific community decided to break it down more.

I have a feeling that the publishing company wanted to keep the integrity of the original writing, which meant keeping the word “monkey” in all of the future books.

And on subject, I second the Luke Skywalker notion.
