Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for December 19, 2020

His crashing through your main gate riding a giant beast wasn’t proof enough ?

" Sure. Just summon your queen and I’ll prove it. "

Tarzan says, why certainly—pick a card, any card.

Thank you, Doubting Torvald.

I will prove it to you now, but first you must dig a pit!

Tarzan stalls for time, pulls out wallet: Let’s see, my Great One ID is in here somewhere.

Tarzan had hoped his mammoth entrance would be proof enough. But the locals, being hung over and sleeping late, had missed the entire show. Tarzan realized he was just a dude in a loin cloth claiming he was the Great One.

Chief: “What the…who screwed up the gate?”

The villagers all turn and look at Tarzan.

Apparently they all sleep with their horned helmets on.

I’m wondering if is the unicorn, long-rumoured, Tarzan-Hägar the Horrible cross-over epsidode.

Steel won’t bite on a demon. So, Viking SOP was to ‘test’ potentially hostile strangers with their blades. Kinda like binding up a suspected witch and tossing her into a river to see if she floats. You know, just to be sure. Anyway, it’s looking like it might could be an unpleasant morning for Lord Greystoke. ;-)

Tarzan made a huge mistake by sending wooly Tantor away….he’ll soon regret that. He’s looking mighty “chesty” in panel #3. True “gods” can fly and don’t bleed either. Tarzan, unfortunately, can do neither…….

“That’s not a proof?” [Unsheathes knife] “That’s a proof!” ☺

Lord Greystoke has that request well in hand; note his erect stance, his imperious demeanor and his steely, grey-eyed gaze….or something like that…

“To prove your identity, first tell us what your name is.”

Tarzan: “Why, of course! Please hold this magical knife and I will demonstrate!”

The book this is loosely based on, Tarzan the Terrible, is actually pretty good.
