(3) K-3 Willy the chimp appears in another enigmatic, thought-provoking book. While the book's paintings, based on famous works of art, are purportedly done by Willy, a visual clue at the end hints that Willy is a stand-in for Browne himself. Each image has been Willy-ized, showing chimps replacing standard figures and various sly touches referencing other paintings or everyday objects. The last pages display the original paintings with brief notes.
