If this was such an extraordinary image, why did the alleged photographer not show the back end of the primate and why did he keep it stored away for almost ten years? The photograph (above) of an alleged “Ameranthropoid ape” supposedly was taken in South America by François de Loys. It has a checkered history, and was used for proto-Nazi racist promotion in the late 1920s and early 1930s, despite the fact it is most certainly a spider monkey (below). Basically, two schools exist about this photo. 1) There are those that believe the François de Loys story and thus [...]
Update: Bigfoot Is Back
New historical photographs of the former “Crookston Bigfoot” have been sent to me from the artist who created it. BTW, the big guy’s finally back home in Maine. The photo above is an image of the Bigfoot standing near the RBJ’s Restaurant in Crookston, Wisconsin, with the owner and her staff. As you can see, the Bigfoot actually was kept outside, and the nice effect of the wind blowing through its hair gave the beast an “alive” feeling.

The Tracks of the Sasquatch
The Real Bigfoot and Genuine Bigfoot Tracks Part 8: The Tracks of the Sasquatch by Mark A. Hall The Tracks of the Sasquatch (also known as Bigfoot) The long history of the Sasquatch and Bigfoot indicates that mysterious giant footprints have always been rare in the mountains of the West. The long trails of footprints post-1958 have been planted by people. A few giant impressions have turned up that can be linked to the sightings of hairy giants. The creatures are smart enough that they seldom leave good impressions of their feet for people to find. They did not suddenly [...]
Sunday Comics: Crypto-Man Meets Mystery Man
It is a strange world when I see things like “My Comic Life” end up on Wikipedia and Boing Boing, frozen in cyberspace. Therefore, here is my update with hints of the upcoming adventures of Crypto-Man and a character based on me. Since it is Sunday in Singapore, the time is right for another irregular edition of my Crypto Sunday Comics, the early overnight edition. Back in November, writer/director Scott Marlowe announced that “Coleman Joins Cast” of the Peter Loh-drawn series “Crypto-Man” is loosely based on Marlowe. I am coming on board as “Mystery Man.” We thought that this casting [...]
