Rick Meyerowitz is best known for his covers (such
as Mona Gorilla) and satirical comic strips for National Lampoon.
He is primarily a commercial illustrator with a love of comics.
The purpose of the the original cover was to shock the onlooker when
confronted by the disparity between the expected icon and the image
in front of him. Meyerowitz's work depicts a gorilla, a gorilla quite
satisfied to be playing the role of Mona. While not something ferocious
and untamed, this gorilla glories in the conceit of replacing a life
of high regard and a smile of consummate mystery with his clever
mocking monkey smirk.
