Maze Comic Book Cover #100 - Ape-ocalypse

Issue #100 in my comic book cover series is called Ape-ocalypse and features a maze of an Ape. I am so happy to hit this milestone on 100 comic book covers. I hope you have enjoyed the journey with me. Not sure when this thing ends, but glad I kept it going this long ! As far as this maze, I made a cover called BANANA (Maze Comic Book #51) that featured a monkey that thus reminds me of.

My comic book cover mazes can be found in 2 places:

To receive a book of my first year of comic book book mazes (Volume 1 with mazes #1-53) you can sign up for my book alerts - any time I launch a free maze book, or paid book (on Amazon), I will send you a note about the new book launch.

Maze of the Week #204 - Aircraft Maze

When I was scheduling my mazes I knew this was the perfect time to feature a maze of an aircraft. This is the busiest week for airline travel in the US, so Maze of the Week #204 features an Aircraft Maze. This particular maze is of a passenger plane, in color, with shadows, as the plane is landing (the wheels are down). I added some extra panels to make a grid-like pattern to contain the maze. I also shaped the page to fit the plane. Safe travels !

An unexpected labyrinth visit in Montevideo, Uruguay

I had never been to South America before and I decided to start in the capital and largest city in Uruguay, Montevideo. I always check the labyrinth locator website to see if there are any labyrinths nearby to visit, but at the time of this writing it only lists 2 labyrinths and neither is near here. But, I still managed to find one near my Airbnb.

I spent a month in Montevideo living in the Parque Battle neighborhood just east of Parque Villa Dolores. I want to start there. The park is part park and part free small zoo. It seems it had more larger mammals in the past but what is left is still enjoyable. You’ll find about 20 peacocks wandering around which seem to be the main attraction, but also a few monkeys including a mandrill, something I thought was a hairy pig called a peccary, 2 ostriches, many flamingos, some deer and many colorful parrots. It is very popular with families on the weekend. Here is a gallery of some of my photos from the park

I have visited mazes/labyrinths in Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, Mexico and Spain. Now, I can add Uruguay to the list. There is a small plaza in the middle of a crossroad that converted its walkways into a labyrinth. It is called Plaza Manuel Freire. While I cannot find when it was converted to a walkable labyrinth, I can find old pictures when it was just regular walkways and benches (as recently as 2020 on Google Maps). I wouldn’t call it well maintained but I did enjoy walking it. The initial sign shows the labyrinth pathway best, with extra entrances allowing you to walk it in all 4 directions. Here are my pictures of El Laberinto de la Plaza Freire:

And my attempt at a panorama of the labyrinth standing next to a bench:

Vehicle Maze - Jet Ski Maze

This Jet Ski Maze reminds me of every time I ever rode one, which is twice. I remember both loving it, almost seriously injuring myself, and being sore the next day. Part of the Land, Air, Sea and Space Vehicle Maze collection.
