Bi-curious George
Curious George is the protagonist of a series of popular children's books by the same name, written by Hans Aloveryer and his wife Bernard. The books feature a bi-curious chimp named George, who is brought from his home in Africa by The Man with the PVC Gimp Mask to live with him in his cellar.
Although in the illustrations George does not correspond exactly to any non-fictional species of monkey, it is believed by many that he is in fact a Bonobo, a species known to be the sexiest of the great apes.
Characters[edit]
Curious George[edit]
Our first view of George sees him living free and happy within a commune in North Africa, where he performs for money to passing tourists. One day a group of swarthy looking men buy him drinks, and after a short time he wakes up gagged with a burlap bag over his head. After a lengthy sea voyage George finds himself living in a cellar in New York, where he gets into a number of jolly japes with a selection of visitors to his dungeon.
George is known as the "ambisexterous ape", and is famous for scenes demonstrating the use of his prehensile toes which allows him to be the central participant in eight-way group-sex acts. He prefers to sleep within an iron cage frequently wearing his "King Bull" butt plug. Only within the French language story Curious George et la Ménage à Trois is George shown with a tail where he is shown performing an act known as Ape Agape.
The Man with the PVC Gimp Mask[edit]
The only recurring character in the original adventures, other than George himself, is The Man with the PVC Gimp Mask. It was he who brought George from Africa, and it is in his house that George lives. The Man often facilitates George's adventures by taking him somewhere (usually blindfolded and ballgagged, and even more often resolves the tension by appearing just in time to get George out of a tight spot. He is always seen wearing a leather harness, ballgag, and PVC gimp mask.
The character is rarely mentioned by name, and is often called either "The Gimp" or fully "The Man with the PVC Gimp Mask". However, in the X-rated Curious George animated film, the Man is given the name "Ted Shackles".
Various Village People[edit]
A number of individuals from the neighborhood frequently visit George and his companions throughout the stories, and although the characters are never named it is clear from the imagery used as to the professions of the visitors. In order of first appearance they are as follows:
- A motorbike police officer
- A Native American chief
- A leatherclad biker with a handlebar mustache
- A construction worker
- A cowboy
It is thought that had the series continued a number of local characters would have made an appearance, with initial sketches made of a Soldier, a Sailor, a Tinker, and a Tailor.
