Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?

Question

Think about it. He should at least have a little stuble or something.

Answer 1

jane plucks tarzan

Answer 2

Bec he just shaved it.

Answer 3

Why do men have beards, they serve no purpose at all and its tedious and time consuming shaving. maybe Tarzan is perfection without the rogue beard gene.

Answer 4

actually your question should be, why does tarzan have hair?!?!

you see apes plucking at each other's hairs on National Geographic, ya? and tarzan grew up with apes... so it goes to reason his bread were all plucked away by the apes.. he should be bald by adulthood. haha.

Answer 5

because the monkeys tore it all off for there are too many lice on it.

Answer 6

Haha. Cute question.

You could look at it that It's because cartoons aren't very accurate or realistic. If they were, living in a jungle as many years as he has, he would have a huge beard.

However, it's probably because he can't grow one. Not everyone can. You forgot that part :)

Answer 7

actually Edgar Rice Burroughs had Tarzan decide to shave in the fourth book (he first did it to test the sharpness of his newly discovered knife, and then found that there was utility to being clean shaven, with relatively short hair . . . .it helps when you are flying through the trees).

By the way, those books are great (if not politically correct)!

Answer 8

He does have one, but when he is on the TV, it is "airbrushed" out to make him look better,,, modern technology eh...

Answer 9

Because he was told to shave before he came to the movie studio.

Answer 10

And why do cartoon characters have only four fingers on each hand?

Because they - as well as Tarzan - are fictional characters.

Duh!

Answer 11

Beard is a sign of age and wisdom. Tarzan is a chivalrous and courageous man of action. Beard does not go well with a person expected to plunge into instant action in order to save lives.
