WARREN THE APE ... HAS A NEW SHOW.



My goodly friend Dan Milano is finally getting another shot at destroying Western Civilization with his Character Warren The Ape.

I loved the Greg The Bunny Show... especially the IFC version, though they were all pretty fucking cool. I discovered the show one thanksgiving day, during a marathon, that blew me away so much that I wrote Dan a letter. He is the voice behind the puppets, and the hand up their asses.


Dan was kind enough to let me write some about Warren The Ape, which basically meant I pretended like I was one of his long suffering drinking and drugging buddies telling tales out of school. I really had a great time writing that stuff. Very Gonzo, Hunter S. Thompson.

Watch for the show on MTV...
