Baboon? Please stare (3-3)
I believe the answer is:
dog-ape
'baboon?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'please stare' is the wordplay.
'please' becomes 'do' (I've seen this in other clues).
'stare' becomes 'gape' (gape is a kind of stare).
'do'+'gape'='DOG-APE'
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
