Ages ago I picked up a colouring book at an antique shop in Ueno that just screamed, "buy me", so I did. Surprisingly, though I may have shown the mask on the back cover in an earlier post, I have never showcased the interior.
Here for your enjoyment is the PLANET of the APES Picture Activity Album. It appears to have been published in 1974 which would be around the time of the tv show though the characters featured on the cover are from the original movie. I'll intersperse some Apish YouTubes to break up the monotony.
On the first and last page on cardboard are some charming cut outs (not unlike the ones seen here) so if you're going to print them out, you'll need some stronger paper.
The rest of the book is filled with puzzles and colouring pages, feel free to copy them for your amusement but don't sic any copyright coppers on me.
Finally, dig this Japanese ripoff! Terrific stuff!
A: Did you ever see Saw?
B: As a kid.
A: How could you see Saw as a kid? It only came out a few years ago.
B: When I was younger, I would seesaw.
A: Of course you'd be younger a few years ago but what I want to know is if you did see Saw?
B: Yes, didn't you ever seesaw?
A: That's what I'm asking you! But, yes, I did see Saw the other day.
B: Was it fun?
A: Was it fun? It was bloody!
B: Bloody? You must have done it wrong!
A: Done it wrong? How can you see Saw wrong?
B: Now, you're beginning to seesaw.
A: What do you mean, beginning to seesaw? I did see Saw the other day.
B: I know, you already told me. I used to seesaw too.
A: Saw II! Why would you see Saw II if you never did see Saw?
B: Wait a minute, I did seesaw.
A: Oh, so you did see Saw? And you also did see Saw II?
B: Well, I used to seesaw but I never did see Saw nor did I see Saw II?
A: Now, I'm getting confused. You did seesaw, but you never did see Saw?
B: That's right! Why exactly are you asking if I did seesaw for?
A: I didn't ask you if you did see Saw IV, I was interested if you ever did see Saw!
B: That's what I told you! I did seesaw when I was younger but, anyway, I can't talk to you any longer because there's a movie coming on. You might enjoy it with me. Did you ever see Saw?
While we're on the topic of movies, I was rather impressed by this version of the classic routine.
A while ago, I posted another variation of the classic Abbott & Costello bit done by a couple of Animaniac characters. If you'd like to read along, this guy has printed the script. And that was ripped off of Harry Shearer, David Lander & Michael McKean in their days as The Credibility Gap and further ripped off from Tony Rosato & Eugene Levy of SCTV fame. As can be seen here...
It's time for shuteye, but before I retire, scroll down to the bottom of this link to see Johnny Carson's take on the sketch!
