With a name like A Hundred Monkeys, nothing short of some production monkey business will satisfy clients, peers and FPO readers. Designed and produced like giant raffle tickets, including individual numbering for each, these business cards are a nice nod to the original without being simply an imitation. The different paper stocks are a nice way of adding variety to a one-color job. The only big problem I see with these cards is that you would need really big pockets to carry around that spool at conferences to hand out.
