Are they meant to be apes? The cartoon characters themselves, I mean. Are they monkeys? Or just weird-looking humans? Because most of them look vaguely simian, they have various songs that reference monkeys and monkey culture, they record at "Kong studios," they make monkey noises in their songs sometimes, and the band name is "Gorillaz."

Regarding the lore, I learned something new today that I never paid attention to. Del the Funky Homosapien is a soul inside Russel? It's right there in the song, but it went over my head all these years. Why isn't he on all the albums if so?

The whole story has been entertaining.washing machine wrote:I guess I need to brush up.
