Andrew Blodgett Mayfair
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lieutenant Colonel Andrew Blodgett "Monk" Mayfair is a member of the band of associates of the heroic pulp fiction character Doc Savage. Monk is a peerless industrial chemist and, as are all of Savage's associates, a good man in a fight. His physical characteristics are undeniably simian, hence his nickname. Monk loves a good brawl, beautiful women, and needling his companion, the lawyer 'Ham' Brooks. It was Monk, in fact, who framed Brooks for stealing hams during World War I, and the insulting nickname stuck. In spite of their constant bickering, Monk and Ham are great friends and have risked their lives for each other on several occasions.
Monk purchased an ugly pig in Arabia during the novel The Phantom City. He named it Habeas Corpus in order to further infuriate his lawyer friend. The pig accompanies Monk on most of his adventures.
In the 1975 film Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze, he was played by Michael Miller.
