“Most likely” was perhaps too strong a word (so I changed it), since they just gave the JGI as an example which would make sense. I don’t know if the author of “Irregular webcomic” knows about this. You could write him a mail, but keep in mind that his style with lego figures is very special and the publishers could prefer more traditional artwork.

Does the guy who does Irregular Webcomic know this? He’s featured Jane Goodall in his comic a lot, and has encouraged donations from his fans to the JGI of over $2000.
