Today is Jane Goodall's 100th birthday.
I first heard of her through the infamous The Far Side cartoon, the one that her lawyers hated but she loved.
Then I found the article that Erma Bombeck wrote about her in her book When You Look Like Your Passport Photo, It's Time to Go Home.
Then the joke that Ape made in the George of the Jungle movie.
Here's a random assortment of single-panel Jane Goodall gags.
And some more factoids that I found today...
* The Jane Goodall Institute's Center for Primate Studies was at my alma mater the University of Minnesota (which had the amusing email address of chimp@umn.edu)
* LEGO made a Jane Goodall set to celebrate International Women's Day 2022.
