I have zero artistic talent, but I can mash stuff together most of the time. My daughter wanted a theme with a monkey, so this is all I could come up with. Any other ideas?

PS. If you can't tell I've never used Adobe Illustrator before today, so the above took awhile to trace and color (after I figured out how to trace and color), but it is 300 dpi and 29x8 inches in vector format. If it's lame (please tell me if it is, really), I'll start over, if not I'll try to figure out some sort of control panel to go with it.

I like this ;D

that looks really good.

Hilarious, but the link doesnt seem to be working / enlarging.

Sorry about that, the link was just where I referenced the image to.
But I took the original .ai file and compressed it with winrar (had to split it to adhere to the server's 1024kb rule, then renamed them to .txt).
The Adobe Illustrator file is now able to be downloaded, just remove the .txt extension on both and pull the .ai file out with winrar or something that can open .rar files.
Anyone who wants it can have it, as my wife doesn't like family guy.
So instead, I'm trying to create a "MiddleMan" theme now. Either that or the "Gut Wrencher" arcade cabinet theme, which is from a MiddleMan episode.
My daughter loves/loved the MiddleMan show. More than monkeys at least. :)

Take away Stewie and the broccoli and Rupert and put Chris on that side point at the monkey

Have at it. I put the .ai up so you can do what you like with it. If you pull up a Donkey Kong marquee you'll see why everything is where it is though. Having no artistic talent means I can not come up with anything unique on my own, so it's a complete rip-off of Donkey Kong.
I had to give up on MiddleMan too, because there was not enough artwork available online. So now it's going to be Kim Possible. In a few years my daughter will probably be too old for that though.
