The character George was inspired by the story of Tarzan and a cartoon characterization of George Eiferman (Mr. America, Mr. Universe, IFBB Hall of Famer) drawn by a cook on his mine sweeper in the Navy during WW2.

George is a dim-witted but big-hearted "ape man" who is always called upon by District Commissioner Alistair to save inhabitants of the jungle from various threats.

George's "beloved mate" is Ursula, a Jane-like character far brighter than George, whom George refers to as "Fella." George's closest friend is an ape named Ape who, like Ursula, is far more intelligent than George. George has a pet elephant named Shep, who behaves like a lap dog, or, as George refers to him, a "great big peanut-lovin' poochie," and who George thinks is a dog. Also of note is the Tooky Tooky (or Tookie Tookie) bird famous for his call: "Ah ah ee ee tooky tooky!"
