Get ready for National Gorilla Suit Day!

We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming to remind you that National Gorilla Suit Day is just five days away. National Gorilla Suit Day, which happens every January 31, is the day that we, in the words of TV, comics and animation writer Mark Evanier, "remember Mad magazine's maddest cartoonist, the late Don Martin. Mr. Martin was, among his many skills, the master of great sound effects in comics."

And it's true - from AAAAGH! to ZZZZZZZZZZZ, and from Xmng! to SHKLORBBADORP, Martin's comic onomatopoeia was always hilarious. Unfortunately, I know of no recorded examples of someone actually voicing Martin's sound FX - but a music video of people in gorilla suits, that I can give you.

So, without further ado, and in honor of National Gorilla Suit Day 2007, Heliocentric Worlds proudly presents the Nairobi Trio. (Look for more gorilla-suit goodness to come on NGSD itself.)
