Detective Chimp - Shadowpact

1st app.- Adventures of Rex the Wonder Dog #4

Detective Chimp was a simple, although intelligent, trained chimpanzee, who acted as an "helping mascot" for the local sheriff, after helping him to solve the murder of his chimpanzee trainer, Fred Thorpe. He could not speak, but being very intelligent he could understand humans, and make him understood.

This origin was elaborated on and slightly modified in Day of Vengeance, where it was shown how he was captured in Equatorial Africa in 1953 by Fred Thorpe, who sought to train him for his number... "Bobo the Detective Chimp", in which Detective Chimp was trained to answer some detective-related questions using a combination of signals and rewards, giving the illusion to can "discover the deepest secrets of the public". Bobo formed a strong bond with Thorpe, because he took care of him, and gave him a more simpler life than in the jungle, until, during a trip in Florida, Rex the Wonder Dog took him to the Fountain of Youth, where he gained the ability to speak to all living creatures in their own language, even humans. He was also granted Eternal Youth.
Detective Chimp, in more modern times.

After the death of Fred Thorpe, he began to work by himself. But being a monkey without civil rights and being unable to stand as a juridical person, he couldn't get paid, and when the public began to forget him, he became an alcoholic.
