I'm not sure what the Monkeydome is. I think it may be a museum. You know... you go inside, and you climb up into the giant head and understand the workings of the monkey mind. Learn the history of monkey tools — from sticks that poke, to sticks that hit! Then, at the very top, you look out from the eyes of the giant monkey head, and see the world as a monkey does — a world where everyone laughs at your expense, and your job market is limited to space exploration or medical pin cushion.Comments on this Article

i'm pretty sure that's an ape, not a monkey. though to your speciesist mind i'll bet they all look the same, don't they, speciesist?

Hehe,
You should wisit Australia. We have Giant everything. Giant Pineapple, banana, prawn, rockinghorse, orange, even a giant earthworm. There is definatly room in there for Giant monkey. If you build something big people will come, for a little while, then when it falls into disrepair you can become a scooby doo type villan and be the "Phantom of the Monkeydome" untill of course your plans are foiled by those meddling kids.

Who is the red guy? is he evil? is he a republican? is that who monkey dome is looking at and why it looks so sad, cus it senses its impending doom? or did you just run out of black ink?

I did a search. I figured monkey dome was such an awesome idea that someone HAD to have come up with it before. Apparently they did. Like 200 years ago. Right on time.

sprout - The red guy is red because... well, it's a sketchbook. And sometimes things just happen that way :). Also, before I cropped this image, there was some red text on the right that the red guy helped balance out.
Ian - Well, at least we've figured out that the Monkeydome is a House of Worship.

I feel obligated to point out as australian that, peter costello in infact the tresurer of the liberal party (the party the currently has government here)
at any rate, I do like the idea of the phantom of the monkey dome and I look forward to the repeats on telly for the forseeable future.

This should definitely be the new Capitol Building. It WAS Earth that turned into the Planet of the Apes...
