Mister Ron's Basement #1576
Today is January 29th, also known as that great global holiday, created years ago by Mad Magazine cartoonist Don Martin, National Gorilla Suit Day! (actually, the holiday falls on January 31st, but we're getting it in early this year).
In celebration, we are presenting our Fourth Annual Gorilla Suit story! All of our Gorilla Suit stories can be found here.
Today's piece originally appeared in 'Wilkes Spirit of the Times' back in 1861. It is called 'Performance by the Savage Club.'
Of course, this makes this week's theme a little easier to figure out.
Time: approx seven and a half minutes
The Mister Ron's Basement Full Catalog can be found at:http://ronevry.com/Mister_Rons_Full_Catalog.html
There is a nifty interview with Mister Ron in the latest issue of iProng Magazine (issue #59) which can be downloaded as a free pdf file here.
John Kelly of The Washington Post has written a lively piece about the Basement. You can read it here.
