I picked up a copy of the original Doom Patrol at a thrift store a few weeks ago. As twisted and fantastic as the main story was, even better was the backup tale.

It was part of a multi-parter explaining the history of Beast Boy (Gar Logan) and how he was kidnapped as a child. Well, he did stupid child things like using "Me" instead of "I" and eventually stumbling upon some folks that were brainwashing gorillas to obey their every command.

If I were to brainwash some gorillas what would I want them to do?

..Gorillas are multi-facted characters. In Porky's world....

And if all that gorilla goodness wasn't enough, how about you consider this question (Since I'll be gone next Sunday). What happens when a trained circus ape escapes and tracks Batman & Robin to the Batcave?


Batman becomes a wise@$ and tells Alfred to keep the gorilla entertained!! And how does that sit with the man who singlehandedly manages Stately Wayne Manner? He gets torqued and lays down the law.

Okay, we've had Gorilla blow-gun Death Squads, Gorillas with machine guns, and Gorillas with swords. But that cannot possibly beat:
