Come to think of it, I've never seen an applicative tutorial of Parsec, only a monadic one. Does such a beast exist

Here's something that comes close: http://www.cs.uu.nl/research/techreps/repo/CS-2008/2008-044.pdf It's not specific to Parsec; instead, a parser type is defined on the fly, based on Philip Wadler's list of successes. The applicative and monadic approaches are clearly separated. Martijn.
