This is an opinion tribute cartoon.
Edward O. Wilson may be the smartest, most under-rated quotable guy in Alabama history.
(There may be some trash talk from Charles Barkley about the ‘most quotable guy’ part of this statement, but I think we’re good.)

When drawing tributes to deceased political and cultural icons, I often feature one of their famous quotes. E.O. Wilson has so many great quotes - I couldn’t pick just one for his tribute.

Remember Edward O. Wilson. Remember his work. Respect his contributions to the planet, the environment, to science and to humanity.
Wilson was all about humanity.
And he’s an Alabama treasure.
Rest in peace, E.O. Wilson. You left it all out on the field. On the planet.
