Thinking Ape Blues is a webcomic created by freelance illustrator Mark Poutenis.
The strip stars three "brothers" Abe, Ben and Carl Progress (a simian, a sapien and a robot respectively), and frequently explores themes of conflict between man's primordial and civilized selves while throwing in the occasional pop culture reference. One might even see the three "brothers" as the id, the ego and the superego(respectively).
The strip appears in several regional print publications, including the Boston-area Weekly Dig. Material from Thinking Ape Blues was included in Attitude 3: The New Subversive Online Cartoonists.
Famous quotes containing the words thinking, ape and/or blues:
“Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It’s that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that’s what the poet does.”
—Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
“A book is a mirror: if an ape looks into it an apostle is hardly likely to look out.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
“The blues women had a commanding presence and a refreshing robustness. They were nurturers, taking the yeast of experience, kneading it into dough, molding it and letting it grow in their minds to bring the listener bread for sustenance, shaped by their sensibilities.”
—Rosetta Reitz, U.S. author. As quoted in The Political Palate, ch. 10, by Betsey Beaven et al. (1980)
