    This looks like a picture of an old timey actor but I have to find it.

  7. ellie in Flint says:

    Oh my gosh! What a squish face!

  8. Katrina says:

    That is the grumpiest little beastie I’ve ever seen.

  9. Erebella says:

    OMG, bitter beer face! I remember that! LOL Poor little baby looks so uncomfortable. It needs to cling to momma’s belly instead and keep out of the sun.

  10. divinebluesky says:

    that little face is so expressive that I really do want to rush in and give the poor thing a sleep mask.

  11. Carrie says:

    oh mannnnnnnnn what an adorable widdle munkybutt… I would snorgle it if the mama got tired.

  12. Juniper Jupiter says:

    BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! XD!!

    I swear, he looks JUST like my Grandpa did without his glasses or dentures!

    Now I see where I get my munkyface from! :D

  13. steppy says:

    LOL looks just like my hubby. Only cuter. Wants to snuggle poor baby.

    The Grinch in infancy — before he turned green.

    [and as we well know, it's not easy being green... - Ed.]

  15. Samantha says:

    Ahh! It’s like a cute monkey body with an old man face!

  16. banana says:

    AWWWWWWW. What could the little grump be dreaming about?

  17. T.U.M. says:

    “Aw, Mom, gimme five more minutes! C’mon, it’s Saturday!”

  18. biscuithead says:

    Nah, (s)he’s just a bit gassy.
    One good blast (out of whichever end) will sort that right out.
    Then, all smiles, I’m certain.

  19. Trisha says:

    Definite old man mouf !!

    Still all puffy from birth!

  20. Michelle S says:

  21. anon says:

    Looks like the mom just picked this one up from his weekly disapproval lessons with the local bun.

  22. Trisha says:

    within that woman’s pics I found this… wow. http://www.flickr.com/photos/jeankern/207852234/in/photostream/

  23. Stephanie C. says:

    Looks like Little Foot’s grandpa from The Land Before Time (or, The Series That Will Not End Before Time Does).

  24. ThreeCatNight says:

    Looks like Edward G. Robinson with constipation.
    (I’ve actually seen old guys that look like this sitting on park benches. Just shove a cigar in the side of his mouth, and put a well-worn cabbie’s hat on his head, and voila! Instant crabby oldster!)

  25. nakey says:

    Oh, noes! Poor little fella, I will shade you.

  26. BBM says:

    I love the pouty mouf!

  33. binky-mama says:

    Awwwww! Poor bebeh! In need of a sunbonnet stat!

  34. ScoutsMom says:

    That must be how I look when I have a migraine. Way too sensitive to light, sound, touch, etc… Hope this little guy’s head doesn’t hurt. Do monkeys get headaches??? Nah, on second thought I think it’s just grumpy from being out of momma’s warm, comfy belly.

  35. kayte says:

    Looks like one of those “celebrities without their makeup” pictures from the tabs.

    Which celeb is it, though?

  36. kayte says:

    Looks like one of those “celebs without their makeup” photos from the tabs.

    Which celeb, though?

  37. warrior rabbit says:

    Oh, ThreeCatNight, you beat me to it! I was going to say Edward G. Robinson. Darn.

    Actually there’s a bit of angry Calvin face there, too. Definitely one cheesed off little minkey!

    Mom needs a parasol to keep the sun off him.

  38. Poohbear says:

    Eem-possibly cute two last postingks. Just right for bedtime.

  39. Poohbear says:

    And yes, I think it’s Edward G. Robinson you’re thinking of, B’servant :

    Can’t believe that’s my first comment after years of lurking, but…there it is.

    Ernest Borgnine.

  43. Ruth says:

    Too much blood in my caffeine system!!!!!

  44. sunnymum says:

    Awwww, poor baby! Way too much of the sunshiny for widdle one. Here sweetie, [pops umbrella open over him and gives mom the handle to hold].

  45. Jessica says:

  46. sas says:

    I wish we had a Mr. McGrumpyPants Xtreme Close up!!

  47. Mary (the first) says:

    Welcome, Art Prof! Some cute critter always pulls in the lurkers eventually. Now that the ice is broken, prepare to find youself squeee-ing.. when the time is right…

  48. jayjay says:

    He’s trying to imitate Dubya or Darth Cheney or both simultaneously

  49. Szilvia says:

    OMG!!

    It’s like looking in the mirror in the morning!!

    *going to check to see if CO put a camera behind my bathroom mirror*

    Scarey.

  50. claudia says:

  53. noramaria says:

    I just want to mush his face to see if it could get just a liiitle bit mushier.

  54. babs08 says:

    ’tis the curious case of benjamin button! Monkey version! :3

  55. Decca says:

    True story, I went to Capuchino High School. Our mascot was a mustang. Being a natural-born troublemaker I started a petition to get our mascot changed to the monkey, which I thought made more sense with our school name. I failed. I still think the Fighting Capuchino Monkeys would have rocked!

  56. violetgreen says:

    That sweet little prune-face says, “Make it go away!”

  57. Jenn says:

    I never believed in reincarnation until now! That’s my grandpa!

  58. joey says:

    excuse me.
    but can anyone tell me what rules of cuteness this winston churchhill of the primate world follows? cause i aint seeing it.

  59. Jen8 says:

    Hey–That baby monkey stole my morning face.

  60. Roisin says:

    I seriously have seen leetle babbies who look like that when they are really sleeping hard. Especially one in particular who was a preemie.

    I just think that baby is cute. I want to hug him and squeeze him and call him George.

  61. Boomer's Babysitter says:

    I’m a little rusty on the rules, joey, but I’m thinking it’s something like “it’s so ugly it’s cute” rule.

  62. CathyDee says:

    Is not ripe yet.

  63. Cee says:

    Everyone should look at that Flickr photostream – some AMAZING pics of babeh monkehs and a teeny giraffe dude!

  64. Errata says:

    Joey: 2, 7, and 24.

  65. chanpon says:

    Who’d a thunk it – looks like a human baby. Oh the irony!

  66. spb says:

    Wait… 24??? I don’t see any suction cuppage anywhere!

  67. Lizzy says:

    Joey – definitely doing a “mimicking humans” there.

    OMG smooshy faaaace! *smushes the smooshy face*

    He’s all “Ya dern kids, git offa mah lawn!” *shaking tiny cane”

  68. mcv73 says:

    omg he looks like Joe Lieberman

  69. [Droopy Dog] You know what? That makes me mad. [/Droopy Dog]

  70. T.U.M. says:

    @Anon – he’s definitely getting good grades at disapproval school!

  71. Bookworm says:

    OMG he is just too cute. He looks like my son used to, when he was freshly borned and found it too bright in the room.

  72. Minya says:

    I opened this at work and all I could do was giggle helplessly. Priceless.

    My coworkers were curious and when they saw it we all had a group squee.

    However, I have the uncomfortable feeling that this is what I look like when I first get up in the morning.

  73. morevino says:

    He looks like LARRY KING to me.

  74. totalee puppy says:

    Me…all out of Diet Pepsi…only widdle and cuter…

  75. asking for trouble says:

    Did somebody say “bleen”?

  76. Dame says:

    heart, love, smile

  77. anner says:

    looks like somebody had too much wine last night…

  78. Redbone says:

    Good grief. So capuchins are giving birth to south Florida retirees now, huh?

    “Oi, it’s so bright out heah! Moitle, find my sunglasses and the zinc oxide cream, it’s gonna be a scorchah taday!”

  79. Errata says:

    spb, how else do you think he’s hanging on there like that? Obviously it’s suction cups, duh.

  80. needapuppy says:

    Take a look at the other shots on the link — his scrunched-up face is all red like a tomato — even better.

  81. eikoleigh says:

    Must be before the 1st cup of morning coffee?

  82. OMG! The *cute* is barely bearable!!! :D

  83. Hon Glad says:

    Winston Churchill with out his teeth in.

  84. Sarah says:

    That is EXACTLY how I felt this morning.
    I suspect it is how I will feel tomorrow morning.
    Somehow my soul has been externalised as a little monkey. I think J. Sheridan LeFanu wrote a spooky story about that once, called ‘Green Tea.’

  85. mberkie0 says:

    Mr. Capush looks like Ed Asner without teef (remember “Lou Grant” anyone?).

  86. wolfie says:

    “I WANNA GO BACK IN!!”

    Hee hee. He looks grumpy, but I bet he’s actually super-cozy and satisfied right now.

    Hey, here’s a question for die-hard CO fans. There used to be this advertiser in the left-hand ad bar that sold hippie-style clothes, but I can’t remember their name. Does anyone know who I mean and remember their name? Thanks!

    Wolfie

  87. Jezebel says:

    It’s Benjamin Button!

  88. Shaz says:

    I just woke up. This is how I feel. RIGHT NOW. I’m feeling grinchy. I need coffee.

  89. Auntie Meme says:

    Who’s a fussy monkey baby?
    Crying all day long,
    Who’s a fussy monkey baby?
    Not even smiling for a song?

    /I’ve been working on the railroad

  90. snoopysnake says:

    My first thought was that he looks like Yoda, but now I agree with those of you who said Edward G. Robinson….”Yah!..yah!..”

  91. CJ says:

    I don’t imagine I look much different in the morning.

  92. Theresa says:

    Every time I see this little scrap, I bust out laughing.

  93. warrior rabbit says:

    It’s not quite the angry Calvin I was looking for, but it’s close. Top right picture:

  94. Brandi7920 says:

    Separated at birth:
    Grumpeh bebeh monkeh…and Grandpa Simpson.

  95. Sharon~aka~javagirl says:

    Whew! I am going to be laughing about this for a couple of days!

  96. Kate says:

    Outing m’self as a New Yorker, but the monkey bebe’s expression looks to me like Eliot Spitzer’s muppet face at his press conference of shame:

    http://circushour.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/spitzeru.jpg

  97. Theresa says:

    He does look exactly like my brother did when he was brought home from the hospital.

  98. ThreeCatNight says:

    @Kate: LOL! “Press conference of shame!” Gawd!
    How’d he do that face?! No wonder he was such a babe-magnet!
    Little monkster is much CUTER, actually.

  99. LisaL says:

    That is frackin adorable! All grumpy old man smooshed face… poor wittle baby!

  100. skeezer says:

    Geez i love you guys! I’ve been a lurker, but I’ve been set free! All the cuties and you all make me laugh every single day!

  101. Theresa says:

    Come over to the Qte, Skeezer– we have pudding!

  102. Rooanne says:

    Welcome Skeezer – as a former lurker I know how you feel! I went from: these people are crazy, but the pics are cute, to well, maybe not so crazy, just a little obesessed, to – oh what the heck. It’s all Qte. A celebration of life in all it’s wonderful forms……
    Oh and I KNOW I look like this when I wake up. I’ve seen a photo :) )
    oh well.

  103. Gail (the first one) says:
  104. wolfie says:

    Gail, thanks so much for your reply! I don’t believe it was either of those, sadly (unless they’ve dramatically changed their site). I’m pretty sure there was “nomad” or “gypsy” or “hippie” in the name… I’ve been racking my brain for the name for two days, argh! How does a girl deal with the frustration? Why, come look at cute pics here, natch! :-D

    Thanks again for taking the time to answer!

  105. warrior rabbit says:

    Wolfie, there was that Horse one… Two Horse Shy? One Horse Shy? But it was T-shirts…

    Maybe you could think about the last time you saw the ad, then go to archive.org and see if the ad is there around that time?

  106. Junior says:

    wolfie, HippyChixShop.com

    Was that it?

  107. wolfie says:

    YES!!! THank you so much, Junior!! *big hug*

    Ahhhh. Finally, relief, LOL!

  108. Fussy but oh so cute – here lil love – c’mon over here to Auntie for a snuggle
    Patti

  109. Gail (the first one) says:

    @Wolfie: I knew there was another one, but I couldn’t think of it!! Glad Junior came up with it!

  110. Noelegy says:

    Reminds me of the old adage that all babies look like Winston Churchill.

  111. Jennie says:

    He really looks like he has some serious gas.
