Description

I met Beebo in Tunisia, around 1927. We came to New York City and started playing to crowds on the street. That was the good life back then. His readings of Shakespeare and the classics became legendary. We played to larger and larger crowds and even traveled in Europe for a while. Beebo was regularly offered lucrative deals to perform solo, but he always insisted we were a team and I truly appreciated that. When I retired from show business, Beebo went on to further fame and glory, but we always stayed in contact. There was a serious effort of put him in the White House, but he uttered those now famous words on live radio, "I ain't nobody's trained monkey!". He became a professor and teaches Literature at Cornell now. Me, I bought a coffee plantation in Jamaica and have gathered our letters and photos for a book I'm working on. *** Took the old Zygote chimp and made a monkey out of him, by stretching and Zbrushing a head morph, then adding a tail.

The monkey skull, and the shadow of the crowd are nice touches. Splendid piece of alternate reality.
