Are those the coolest ear muffs ever? Is this young cowgirl being attacked by Kung Fu Chimps?
What is going on in this photo is anybody's guess. Anyone out there have any ideas?
All I know is I had that exact monkey when I was a kid. He had a rubber banana in one of his hands. He also suffered a horrible death at the hands of some movers in Toronto.

The Monkey's name is Zip.
Was that the one in the Sears Wishbook?
I hope the chimps are not the fashion advisors who talked her into wearing her pants as far over her waist as possible.
I'm sure its the same monkey (I never forget a chimp). They've been makin' 'Zips' since the 50's. I think he was a character on Howdy Doody.
Too Much Monkey Business.
