I absolutely love this fantastic cover of a Japanese manga based on "The King Kong Show" (1966) depicting Kong preparing for battle with not only a giant Frankenstein Monster, but a giant werewolf as well.

Happy 100 Years of Winnie the Pooh! 🐻🍯

Do King Kong and Winnie the Pooh have anything to do with each other? Outside of being two of the most famous icons and characters that were created in the early 20th century, not really.

But who doesn't love Winnie the Pooh? I don't want to know.

Adapted and directed by Brian Newell, from the novel by Delos W. Lovelace, and the original story by Merian C. Cooper.

"Without question, the most fun and innovative theatrical productions I've seen in the last year have come from the Maverick Theater Company in Fullerton, California. Their current production of KING KONG is no exception. They actually re-create the classic film on stage with an ingenious combination of live actors, rear-screen projection, and green-screen. While live actors appear on stage, there's a separate studio space that's feeding video imagery, also being performed live, onto the rear-screen in front of which the stage actors are performing. Kong is performed by an actor in an ape costume who is perfectly in sync with what's happening on stage. Consequently Kong really does get to be huge in relation to the performers. There are even moments when the stage actors are green-screened onto the projected video and made to be very small in relation to Kong, with whom they share the final image. Add a giant Kong hand and a giant Kong head to the available stagecraft, and you've got the makings of an amazing night at the theater. It's all done in real time and it's a fascinating, funny and thoroughly entertaining production. My description doesn't do it justice. This is the second incredibly clever production I've seen by the Maverick Theater in recent time and I am now an avid fan. It's well worth the trip down to Fullerton to watch their performances. Go see KING KONG!"

I'm unsure of who the artist behind this piece is, but it's fantastic. If you know the artist, please let me know so we credit them!

Apes love a good Choc snack

It was the early stages of the two understanding each other. Which she (rightfully) hit the breaks on and stood her ground.

I also love how Kong had an absolute shit-fit over her defiance, and gets a bolder falling on his head.

Women aren't always right. But when they are, look tf out. Or up.. 😂

Kong saves the day tho. He's the reason she still lives. Never forget that.

Whether they're Skull Islanders, Faro Islanders, a lone hermit on Mondo Island, or are living in the Hollow Earth, they play an important role in Kong's many stories. Depending on the film, they worship him out of fear, gratitude, or maybe a mix of both.

Which interpretation of Kong's people are your favourite?

Mine’s 1933, the classic, the urban legend and the one that started it all
