Dave was mentioned in Jorge Jump's article, "FUN WITH PUNS!" and had the quote, " I’m not lion when I say we’re looking for gnu material. We recognize that this challenge is like a giraffe at a take-out window, you know - a tall order.
But the animals have already been really helping us out. The gorillas have some jokes that a-peeled to us, and the elephants had a whole trunk full. We haven’t reached out to the local bat population though. Their humor is way too dark for us! Let us get to the point. In the end, we believe our fellow adventurers could help us out greatly."
