Unbeknowist to the Man with the Yellow Hat, George and Hundley had built a lair deep underneath his house. Using the Man with the Yellow Hat's credit card numbers and his identity to pay for the torture devices in the lair, Curious George began plotting against the Man with the Yellow Hat, and finally carried out his plans against him one night.

There’ll be singing and dancing, giltz and glam and all sorts of ridiculous behaviour as well as guest performances from some of Londons most iconic drag performers. Bi-Curious George is a drag king whose work centres around queer ecology – or in layman’s terms, queer animals. Think intersex snails, gay giraffes and transgender fish. He spends an unusual amount of time doing research into animal mating so that you don’t have to. Next time someone brings out that age-old idea that homosexuality or gender-queerness is ‘unnatural’, you’ll have an entire arsenal of extraordinary facts at your disposal. The illustrations are just as funny as the text. They’re done in the style of the Margaret and H.A. Rey books, but changed to be…more appropriate to the book, meaning not very appropriate. I don’t think he’s eating the banana… They are full of entertaining details, like the ship full of seamen being named the S.S. Cher, or the man dangling from a window in his underwear while another cross-looking man can be seen inside the apartment, or that every able-bodied seaman looking for George seems to need to bend over. George is bored one day so he steals some money of the man in the yellow hat, he and Hundley hire a hooker and have a 3-way. Like his namesake, Bi-Curious George is a very curious little monkey who gets in all kinds of odd situations. There are plenty of laughs and a lot of witty puns. The illustrations are clever. There's an image of George in a jail cell. A clever monkey will notice "1 Kings 10:22" scribbled on the cell wall behind George.Although his life was seemingly prosperous, George always maintained a strong addiction to pornography, cocaine, and beating mentally challenged students on recess at local schools. Due to these unfortunate facts, he eventually lost control and was fired from The Safari Strip Club ten years after his career began. For the next eight years, George was homeless on the streets of New York. In New york, he met up with Hundley. He and Hundley decided to rob a bank in 2006, which lead to Hundley getting shot 129 times in his testicles and his face with a 10 gauge semiautomatic shotgun, leaving George alone to commit his crimes. Send a few dozen copies of this to your local church library and watch the parishioners go apeshit... Expect to be surprised, amazed and amused in this “deliciously unexpected” celebration of all things queer. For those without comedic tastes, the so-called experts at Wikipedia have an article about Bi-curious George. For a parody to work, I think, the language has to roughly approximate the comprehension level of the original, and this one strays a bit from that with some more elaborate words. I would have liked a little more of the stylish and genteel aspects of gay life parodied from George's perspective, rather than the seedier and edgier stuff, which made for more obvious, but cruder, humor. George does get carried around in a man purse at one point, which was fun.
