Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for March 06, 2020

“Now go and dig some pits all around that mound. And then, we go lure them insect creatures into those pits…”

“Join me, and we shall summon the giant frog creatures from outer space. They’ll arrive and eat all these insect people creatures and destroy them!”

Didn’t Roger Corman get started with stuff like this?

This is how he killed off half a village last year going after a “rogue” elephant.

Once again, you’ve known me for 10 minutes, I have no idea of the Insect Men’s capabilities, I’m a white dude that appeared out of nowhere. I will tell you what to do, while I stay out of harms way; it may require some of your people to die. But hey, you can’t make an omelette…

Destroy! A simpler time with simpler solutions. Like the 1950s westerns.

Hmmmm…..A giant anthill is where the insect men live?

Meanwhile brainless Betty Cole is twisting and squirming in that “Ant Hill” and being picked apart by the slimy cockroach ant-men! By the way, are there any ant-women around or did the Terminex man get ’em all……?

Brown sticky tape.

Dig some pits and fill will with DDT. That’ll fix ’em.

Tomorrow’s strip will show Tarzan with a leg up, pointing in two directions, and dirt flying

What kind of insect-men are they? Roaches? Termites? Dung beetles? Butterflies? That’s going to determine how you deal with them. Off hand, I can’t think of any slimy insects. Waxy or resinous, yes.

This is gonna be great! Who needs the Orkin Man? Tarzan gonna WHOOP on them there ant men.
