About Magilla[]

Magilla spends his time languishing in the front display window of Melvin Peebles' pet shop, eating bananas and being a drain on the businessman's finances. Peebles constantly marked down Magilla's price considerably, but Magilla was invariably only purchased for a short time, typically by some thieves who needed a gorilla to break into a bank or by an advertising agency looking for a mascot for their new product. The customers always ended up returning Magilla, forcing Peebles to refund their money. Magilla often ended episodes with his catchphrase "We'll try again next week."

The only customer truly interested in obtaining the trouble-prone Magilla was a little girl named Ogee (pronounced "Oh Gee!"), but she was never able to persuade her parents to let her keep Magilla.

His name comes from the Yiddish word megillah, which can translate as "crazy".

His "birthday" is January 14.
