<p>Here we have our simian friends sporting a tasteful poke dot underpant ensemble.  I though it went quiet well with the banana stained teeth and matted monkey fur.  &#8220;But chimps don&#8217;t wear underpants,&#8221; you might say, &#8220;this completely breaks the reality of the scene.&#8221;  Apparently you&#8217;re not the only ones uncomfortable living in a world where chimps show a little bit of shame as this one was promptly sent back to my desk.</p>

<p>This work entitled, &#8220;This Man&#8217;s Struggle &#8220;or &#8220;Poker Chimps&#8221; was created as part of a series of illustration demonstrating observational biases.  This one was rejected due to, and I quote, &#8220;&#8230; the bulbousness and sheer magnitude of the primates hind-quarters are to the point of being obscene.&#8221;  Actually, they asked me to cover up the butt cheeks and resubmit.  What was the result?  Tune in for my next post.</p>
