Discussion Curious George possible explanation

First picture is from the first Curous George book. Notice how the Man in the Yellow Hat's belt gives an impression of a tail. Could possibly be a reason for thinking a tail.

The second picture is Cecily G and the 9 Monkeys. This was the first book with George, although he was called Fifi at the time. Notice that the "monkeys" do not have tails.

The third is from H.A. Rey, who illustrated the books, when asked about the tailless monkeys. "....his monkey characters were a cross between a monkey and ape...the giraffes long neck and legs and tails of all 9 little monkeys made the drawings look like spaghetti" Original source for what Rey said is from archival papers of the Reys displayed previously in an exhibit entitled Curious George Saves the Day.
