In a move that undoubtedly would make Julius Schwartz proud, artist Gabriel Bá gives us a chimpanzee dressed as Marilyn Monroe on the cover of The Umbrella Academy: Dallas #2. Or maybe in Gerard Way’s comic-book universe, where chimps live and work alongside humans, Monroe was an ape.
Wait. That’s a little too disturbing to contemplate … for a number of reasons.

Has John McCain approved this? Are we allowed to put lipstick on chimps? Or is the restriction only against pigs?

Y’know, I came this close to making a “lipstick” crack, but I figured I’d end up spending the rest of the day mired in a political brawl.

Am I the only one getting a crazy Guy Davis vibe off of the art here? Not that this would be his (or anyone’s) regular subject matter. That said, it’s great that Gabriel Bá isn’t content to stick with just one style, but continues to add to his repertoire.
Man, did I even spell that right?

Dark Horse Apes! And you can put a lipstick on a ape…
