Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for August 24, 2020

How many days without changing?

Pygmies amongst each other: “Finally got rid of those tall people and that stupid glass ball”

“Arduous”… why do the comics writers always have to use non-common words? What’s wrong with common simple words like “difficult”, “rough”, etc?

Meanwhile, Kulp screams again at the top of his voice from the bottom of the pit he fell into. But nobody comes to his rescue. Darn you, Tarzan, he cries, darn you and your darned pits!

The crocodile pretended to be entertained by Tarzan’s rendition of the twist, encouraging him, in the hopes that his boisterousness would cause him to topple in.

I can only imagine the stares from the townfolk when she walked in wearing that dress. Once again though, I’m disappointed in the ending as it was never really resolved. What about the skeleton with the note about the girl and the blood ruby that Tarzan found to set off the adventure? No explanation of who he was or how the girl got there. These last couple of wrap-ups have been very disappointing.

I thought there was desert around the Pygmy City?

Really arduous, considering a full length cocktail dress.

OK, I just gotta know. Are Tawi’s, er, ‘shells’ held on by suction? Just askin’. ;-)

They must have known Tarzan was coming. Somebody has already dug a pit there.

Jim said, welcome to hell

Tarzan never needs a shave, but now almost-normal faced Biggim looks a bit ragged. Tawi has a stupid grin plastered on her puss even though those stiff breast cups must hurt. Now she will get to experience the true “joys” of civilization! Lots Of Credit Cards Matter!!

Tarzan thinks; “this place looks great! Let’s kill somebody!”

“Tarzan And The Temple Of Golconda” up next (unless GC changes the rotation as they sometimes do).
