Edgar Rice Burroughs published his first Tarzan book, Tarzan of the Apes, in 1914; it went on to countless sequels, movies, lunchboxes, and parodies. To honor Ape-Man’s centennial, Studio 360 commissioned an original Tarzan story from Jack Handey.
“Jane leave. Go across ocean to big city. Tarzan follow. Jane file restraining order Tarzan.”
But how did Tarzan end up at a Phyllis Diller show?
Jack Handey’s latest book is The Stench of Honolulu.
