This is a character study of Delmon D'Argent, the gorilla fella from The Nonesuch Papers, different angles & facial expressions &cetra. Top left: He's looking up @ the lucky lady he's taking out, & has brought her lilacs. So sweet, with a certain je ne sais quois. Bottom left: Getting shwacked on bubbly. Just because it comes in a small glass doesn't mean it won't kick yer ass, mon cher! Also: Drunken APE not Drunken Monkey. The difference is the monkey won't bounce yer head off the cobblestones by yer ankles as a lesson in manners, par tout les Dieux! Right: The morning after, completely disgruntled over a demitasse. Hussies, these days, vraiment! If you can't read what he's saying: "'Beat my chest?' I said to her.'"The Very Idea, Mademoiselle!' what ARE they teaching girls nowadays?" Because Delmon is a gentle-ape & there is a time & place for passion & in a lady's parents' front parlor is not one of them, lol
