Irwin Donenfeld, the son of the founder of DC Comics, was the first to notice that when an ape was pictured on the front cover of a comic book, the sales of that issue would spike dramatically.
So now I have a gorilla I drew. There's a few things wrong with it. For one thing, it's a gorilla and not an ape; I don't know if that makes any difference for primate appeal. Another thing wrong, morally anyways, is that the gorilla has a gun. A golden AK-47, to be precise.
I had no idea that gold-plated AK-47's were a thing, and was dismayed to find that they are in demand. The most infamous are the dozen or so commissioned by Saddam Hussein's family, which have since disappeared. Still, if you really need a golden gun, Versace will sell you a gold-plated AK-47 for $9,000. A little overpriced for a gun you'd likely never fire and then just leave on a shelf somewhere.
Unless, of course, you happen to be a gorilla soldier.
