- Reprints
- Keywords
- camera safari; chauffeur; jeep; jungle animals; jungle setting; taxicab
Indexer Notes
Oddly, the rich man (who plays a major role as Huck's employer) remains nameless throughout the story while his chauffeur - who appears in only one panel, and in silhouette - is give the name "James".
The title, "Jungle James", refers to Huck's job as a jungle chauffeur for the rich man's African camera-safari. "James" becoming shorthand for chauffeur. Per Merlin Haas, it is also a parody reference to the character "Jungle Jim".
Huck begins this story as a cab driver. The same year (1960) saw "Huck's Hack", a cartoon casting Huck as a cab driver.
