Ape Lad in the New Yorker

File this one under “posts I would have made this weekend, only I was moving.”

Imagine my surprise when I opened my New Yorker this week, only to see an illustration in the inimitable style of MaxFunster Ape Lad. I looked at the credits, and yes indeedy, it was our very own Floridian superfan. In The New Yorker’s august pages, of course, he is known by his guvmint name, Adam Koford. Adam was the winner of a contest to re-imagine the magazine’s venerable mascot, Eustace Tilley.

Above is the image that’s reprinted in this week’s magazine. Below is an image that was *also* a winner, but was not among the few featured in print. That makes Ape Lad a DOUBLE WINNER!
