Rafael Pearl was a speaking orangutan that had been kept in the San Diego zoo for several years starting in 2003. In 2008 it was discovered that Rafael was not actually an orangutan but was, in fact, a very lumpy and very lazy man. He was posthumously deified and is a central figure in ancient Welsh mythology. 

No, I lied. None of that was true. I am just very shy, you see. The real truth is that I am a simple dude inspired by folklore, comic books and television shows. I grew up drawing comics and cartoons and would like to go out drawing comics and cartoons. I love my Mom and Dad very much.
