"Mofongo Knows" by Grady Hendrix

I enjoyed this story, not entirely sure why. It had a sense of humor and absurdity with its pathos.
Mofongo the Gorilla of the Mind was once a super intelligent mad scientist super villain, with his "mind rays" and a collection of super weapons (including antigravity boots and disintegration rays.) Now he's just a sad, old, pathetic exhibit in a carnival sideshow, stuck in the cage provided by the "hero" who defeated him, "Steve Savage", an equally pathetic carnival huckster in his dotage.
Strange to feel sorry for Mofongo in his declining years (maybe it helps that his evil crimes aren't detailed.)
