Q. Why does Rob Elliott do Monkey Mondays?

A. Let's ask him: "Drawing them gives me pleasure and forces me to start my week on a creative high note. Knowing there a hundreds of people waiting for their monkey fix really gets the creative juices going first thing in the week."

Q. Why do people subscribe to Monkey Mondays?

A. Lots of reasons. They provide a bit of levity in what is widely agreed to be the worst day of the week. There's an element of surprise to the series, since the style, subject and species of Monkey Monkeys changes every week. And some people are just really into monkeys.

Q. Is Monkey Mondays just monkeys?

A. It's more of a primate feature actually, but there's no day of the week that begins with the letter "P". Subjects have included monkeys, orangutans, apes, baboons, chimpanzees, gorillas, lemurs, mandrills, and the occassional human.

Q. How many monkeys are there in the Previous Monkeys section?

Q. I noticed a lot of the monkeys are not behaving themselves. Is Monkey Mondays a bad influence on children?

A. By our calculations, only 11% of Monkey Mondays monkeys have been portrayed with alcohol, and a mere 6% with tobacco. By comparison, City Zoo monkeys never smoke or drink, but they will masturbate in front of your children whenever you look away.

Q. Is Monkey Mondays every week?

A. Okay, you got us. Monkey Mondays goes out every week unless Rob Elliott is on vacation, working on some massive project, or just plain burned out. You should see the mail we get when we miss a week. People get M-A-D. Some Monkey Mondays have been sent from foreign countries, drawn on napkins, just to avoid the dreaded "where's my monkey!?!" letters.

Q. How can I reuse Monkey Mondays images?

A. You can use them for your desktop, or forward them to friends (tell them where you got them). Everything else is a big no-no unless you get permission.

Q. Does Rob Elliott have a favourite Monday Monkey?

A. Rob: "I couldn't narrow it down to just one. My personal faves are the ones created when I was having a really bad week. See if you can pick them out."
