- Mad Marv:
- Hi guys, I was listening to the show in front of my computer for a change. Regarding Tarzan and the Mowgli girl story, I read the original story. It wasn’t realistic but is worth reading and the story holds up well for a hundred year old book. In the story he learns to speak French but read English. I don’t think that’s really possible, but it’s funny.
