Feb 13: a cute inflatable Flamingo character appears in the AOX collection with the release of Ape #21

A few days later, the Ape and Flamingo allegedly have some kind of a falling out.

Feb 15: Flamingo is seen performing a drive-by shooting. Bystanders report that ape #21 was probably the target, but remains unharmed.

Around the same time, flamingo is spotted drug trafficking, pimping, and putting out a rap album/mixtape. Flamingo has since went underground to escape the heat he’d attracted.

Reliable sources confirm that Flamingo now calls himself $gflam, and he is ready to reveal himself. He has approached me, @xyphid, to handle his majesty crimelord’s return party.
