Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for April 12, 2020

Just feed the little yobbo to the gators and call it good, Tarzan.

And don’t step on any logs, they are likely to bite back….

This kid is even more annoying than Blonde Bimbo Betty from the dailys

Good comment!

Yeah kid. I’m sure there’s a McDonald’s just around the next bend.

How did we get from the vine breaking over the river last week to this? How many Sundays did we miss?

It would have been cool if they’d dropped through a time vortex and ended up 70 million years in the past and had to travel to an alien spaceship to…well, anyway.

Much as I love Gil Kane’s art, and much as I usually love Archie Goodwin’s scripts, for me these hapless-white-travelers-face-ordinary-jungle-perils storylines run out of steam pretty fast. Burroughs fairly quickly discovered he needed more imaginative, fantastic elements to keep things moving, but few Tarzan comics creators apart from Foster, Hogarth, and Manning seem to have fully grasped that. Of course, I have to admit that some Tarzan fans aren’t looking so much for imaginative adventures as for Marlin Perkins or Dr. Doolittle in a loincloth, a guy who consorts with friendly wild animals but can cope with those that aren’t.

No antelopes nearby to kill? Those are Tarzan’s goto for protein.

We seem to have missed a week or two.

missed nothing. they were carried by the river a long ways.

This snot-nosed spoiled little sheiss has got to go! Perhaps those crocs will do him in……

Tarzan looks on this as a teachable opportunity. By the time his parents find him, the kid will be wearing a leopard skin loincloth, talking to monkeys, and killing lions.

This little pisher sounds like Trump.

Fine pair of gators! They look friendly.

But, without challenges, we’d never find our strengths. Or the thrilling opportunity to lose massive amounts of blood.

The blond brat is sickening. Let Sheeta have him for breakfast, T’Zan, and make this a better day for all of us!
