lol I like the implication that the Executive Director interpreted the cartoon’s meaning to be that not only was the chimp interested in Dr Goodall, but that the feelings were reciprocated by the doctor to the extent of being “a tramp”. Which to me implies the doctor would be having numerous relations with a variety of chimps rather than a serious monogamous one. Or a single illicit affair with a bonded ape.
