There are many advantages. The first is that PDF isn't controlled by
Microsoft. 8-) There are free PDF viewers for practically every major
system out there, whereas not all systems can run Microsoft Word.
Word documents are also susceptible to Word macro viruses, whereas
PDFs are not (AFAIK).

But mostly it's the portability factor---you don't have to have
Microsoft Word to print the PDFs, just a free PDF viewer.

Dozens. I've personally seen versions based on Star Wars (several
different ones---the original trilogy, the new movies), Spider-Man,
The Lord of the Rings, Disney, The Simpsons, Elvis, and Coca-Cola.

Some are put out by Hasbro (who owns Parker Bros. now), but there's
a company called USAopoly that apparently has a license to release all
kinds of different-themed Monopoly games (and others). You can see
them here;

If you click on the "Out of print" link, you'll see the hundred or so
other versions they've done:

Geez... did I see a "Goatley Family Reunion" version in there??
Looks like everyone's got one. That's just sick.

You didn't get Simpsons Monopoly Hunter! Neil, let's rename the Bounty
Hunter - he's unclean!!! ;)

I actually love the different versions but I do agree with Hunter - they
have taken it too far! However I think a POTA version would be SUPER
cool.

Parker Bros. (or whoever owns them now) has gone way overboard with
their specialized versions of Monopoly. The first one or two ("Star
Wars") were really cool---and unusual. Now they've put out dozens of
special versions, and it's just become an obvious grab for money from
suckers. (Yes, I realize that that's what selling the games has
always been about, but they're completely diluting the novelty. I
bought the "Star Wars" version when it came out, then the "Disney"
version, but I'll never buy another one, even if they were to release
an "Apes" version.

Here's how it would go.  You make your way from the lake to the pool.  Every time you miss a question you move closer to the corn field and build another part of the trap.  If you miss too many POTA trivia questions you spring the trap and get hauled off to the Vets where Dr. Galen operated on you.  Then a roll of the dice determines whether you get your throat fixed, or lobotomized.

and games with gadgets.  I think it would be

easy to adapt the games I suggested to POTA.

The changes would be superficial and cosmetic.

I got my Ape Marauder today from Sideshow. The picture on the site
looks like his head and sleeves and pants are a dark brown, but this
figure is all black, including sleeves and pants. Can anyone
explain why they're black? I don't remember any all black uniforms.

John O.

I've seen those! They're excellent, just grab some larger sized paper
for them (I had to print mine out on letter size).

It's funny that this was brought up, I've been making a Cornelius
paper model for the group (chimp suit and ape-o-naut version). I used
someone else's template of a robot paper model, but I heavily altered
it. I may have to sign off with the creator, but since I'm giving it
out for free hopefully he'll be cool about it.

I've tried to find a Statue of Liberty model suitable enough to alter
into a diorama. There is a Liberty model, but it's too small and it's
not too detailed graphics wise. There may be a solution though.

Neil,

I only tried my hand at one of the crashed Icaruses so far. It's not
so much hard as it is time consuming, but some of the curved areas are
little tricky. I used cardstock, and scored all the folds with an
exacto knife to make things easier.

Eventually I'd like to do the the others, including Brent's ship which
still isn't up for download sadly.

Yeah, that's what he's saying... A lot of people talked big that they were interested, they were going to buy, they wanted it, etc. But when it came time to actually pay for it , then things changed real quick...

KINSHASA (Reuters) - Five of the few northern white rhinos left in
the wild will be flown from Democratic Republic of Congo to prevent
poachers wiping them out, conservationists said on
Saturday.

Fewer than 10 of the rhinos are believed to remain and with heavily
armed poachers carrying out frequent raids in the wilds of
northeastern Congo, moving the beasts to sanctuary in Kenya is
deemed the only option to guarantee their survival.

Actually more than 5 people should have the poster / print. We only
sold about 5 or so but others were given away as prizes and such.
Still it was a pretty poor showing given the initial interest.

So if anyone else wants to buy one we have a few spares still. ;-)

even existed. Bernie Wrightson has always been one of my favourite
artists, such a talent, it would be great to have seen what he would
have done with a 'serious' Apes strip and not just a parody.

It would also be great if we had the space to have larger versions
of this great art but this is much better than never having seen it
at all, which is what is great about these groups, there always
seems to be something that wasn't known about or seen before that we

That may be so, but as far as all the talkers that said they "were interested", I'd be pissed... I mean sure a few prints might be out there as prizes, but how about all those that were supposed to be boughten by those who claimed they would? If they're not going to follow thru, then why even waste your time (and their own) by saying they wanted it, when it's obvious they were talking outta their a*ses...

It's people like that that ruin it for everyone... Are these same people also going to say that they'd buy new APES comics if they become available, only to leave them in the comic stores if they do? Are they going to say "Oh, I'd buy a special edition of CONQUEST if they had one" only to leave it set at the store if FOX would release the uncut version? My guess is yes... That's a big reason we have little (if any) new APES products, no company is going to want to lose money...

You're very welcome, Neil. I have to say it was a real thrill to get an
advance look at not just one but two new Within strips when Mike sent
them
to me to make this PDF. Strip 20 was particularly exciting to see. I
can't
wait to see what happens next.

Um, because we got two new strips this week, do we have to wait twice as
long for the next one?

Neil,

Bernie ranks high with me as well, he was one of the earliest artists
I adored since his Swamp Thing days. And I agree, he probably would
have done a great job on a straightforward Apes story. I wonder if
he's an Apes fan?

If Hunter wants to host the PDF files, he can gladly have them. He has
the other Apes parodies so this would fit right in. According to Marv
Wolfman's intro in the book, the Apes piece was written for some
unnamed humor mag from ACE books. Might've never been published but I
wish I knew the title. (BTW, the editor reworked the script and
botched up the punchlines, according to MW)

As for the groups, ya there's a slew of things I haven't seen before I
joined! I almost wondered if this Bernie parody was already seen
before considering the broad range of material many fans have come across.

Enter your vote today! A new poll has been created for the
PotaDG group:

Sideshow has created an action figure
of a marauding gorilla. He doesn't have
a name so let's name him.

o Sampson
o Hercules
o Alfredo
o Malachi
o Zeke
o Koffi
o Fluffy Primate
o none of the above


To vote, please visit the following web page:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PotaDG/surveys?id=1613879

Note: Please do not reply to this message. Poll votes are
not collected via email. To vote, you must go to the Yahoo! Groups
web site listed above.

Thanks!

Very cool, did he come out pretty nicely compared to the prototype
photos? As for a name, I'm not the best with ape names. Thadeus?
Magilla? Giuseppe?

Well, it's not so much that it is a weird thing to want to name him, but to have the people in the group that own him "voting" for a name to a generic Gorilla is weird... I mean he is not supposed to represent any one Gorilla, he is "any" of them... I guess that to name him would be a personal choice... Let's say that more people would choose the first name in your poll than the third choice, then whoever chose the third one didn't choose the right name?

<.html <.html

.html It's not a question of which name is right, of course it is personal choice. We could give him the most voted name and then develop a fanfic or comic about a marauding gorilla. <.html

As I said, it's not so much a right or wrong thing... I am just getting at it being all a personal choice...

Anyway, as far as basing a story on a "marauding" Gorilla, that's fine... But would the one that SideShow made be the basis for the story? I mean there are so many Gorillas in POTA that anyone of them could have a story based on him... And, that SideShow Gorilla represents all of them anyway... And, technically, you could say that BEWARE THE BEAST was a story of a "marauding" Gorilla... There already was s tory based on that type of Gorilla...

I spoke to Michael on the phone today to thrash out some ideas for
the various comic projects we have going and what we need to know
from you good folks is what you would prefer.
Which would you rather see more of, 'Within' or the new TV
comic 'Going Home'?
We need to know so we know which one to focus our energies on most so
we would really appreciate you all letting us know.

Thanks in advance,
Neil

Neil,

I think you should get Within finished (really quickly) and dole out
one strip per week while you focus on "Going Home"!

A lot of people pooh pooh remakes.  But I was just taking a long hard squint at Dangerous Female and The Maltese Falcon is a virtual word for word remake of it. And only a scant 10 years later, and it's considered a classic.  I'm looking ahead to a proper POTA Remake, and not a Reimagining

The only way that could happen is if the timeline started by Caesar in CONQUEST leads to females having "equality", because in the timeline of the TV series up to the time of PLANET/BENEATH there was not going to be anything like that...

If it was equal back then, then they wouldn't have had to disguise themselves now would they? Equality has A LOT (if not everything) to do with it... The APES society, like many of the eastern nations today are not about to allow their females to go to combat... (Or to go "marauding")... What PLANET OF THE APES have you seen to give you some of your "ideas?

I'm curious what you have seen that makes you think Ape women
weren't/aren't equal. I think there is enough evidence in the
movies to conclude that they may have actually been quite equal.

Neil, should we email you for details (size, price, contact, method
of payment), or do you want to post them? I wasn't active in the

In the case of the Rittenhouse cards, I think more people were
interested until they found out it was what - 9 cards of Heston for
$20? I heard that and lost interest. If they want to do cards of
Heston movies, then fine, but it's not Planet of the Hestons, it's
planet of the Apes (not to take anything away from his performance).
And NINE cards? Weren't there 9 cards in a pack for 25 cents (or was
it 10) back in the 70's?

Thanks for posting the review, Mike.

Has anyone else received their gorilla? I see in the review that the
cloth is brown. The cloth on mine is black. What color did everyone
else get? Elaine?

Good job Greg, I like it. The squares distinctively say "Apes
Cartoon". Thanks for doing this.

Has anyone had a problem with the dvd (or a cd) after the label's
been applied? I want to put these labels on, but I've read before
not to because of balance issues (I think), but they sell decent
looking kits to apply the labels.

Not sure what this means. You're still going to finish each, but one
might have stick figure apes?

If I HAD to pick, I guess I'd go with 'Playmate of the Apes'... oh
wait, that was a different question.

From what Shitty (ha! must have been a Freidan typing slip, sorry
Mike), I mean Whitty was saying, it sounded like you guys had
something planned after 'Going Home', so maybe you should finish
up 'Within', then concentrate on 'Going Home'. Michael could
probably do something with the script to speed it up, as well - if
you guys just wanted to be done with it. I'm not suggesting ending
it in the next two strips.

I enjoy them both, so I really can't pick.

I don't mind it being original as long as they follow the Remake Rule Of Thumb.

Don't remake a classic unless you can do it better.

I agree, I'd like to see the ending of "Within" before embarking on
the full journey of the fugitives. Because I've found when I'm
writing stories that if I don't finish one and start on a new one I
probaly won't finish the other. And I'd really like to see the
conclussion of "Within."

I've heard about balance issues, and I've heard that over time, the
adhesive on the label might eat through the discs. I don't know how
likely either is, but I've never put a label on a disc, just in case.
However, I do have some discs that were given to me that have labels,
and they play OK....

What have I seen to presume not all apes are equal: Lack of female Gorillas and Orangs for one... Had they been "equals" they would have been seen in public, not all "hidden at home"... Chimp females are out in with the males of their species because they are fighting for their equality... The other two species seem to keep their females on the homefront...

What evidence do you see in the films to make you think that all the females are "equals" and making strides in their society?
