Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for May 22, 2021

“I’m so dizzy, my head is spinnin’”.

And it would have worked, too, if it hadn’t been for you meddling kids!

I am SHOCKED

OH! No surprise here. Now what will those incensed natives do to Johnson….a spear skewer, or a scorned Bolgani bride will suddenly appear and carry him off? In any case, I give “White Man” Johnson about 6 more panels, then it will be June’s turn face the “music”!

Gosh! I never saw that coming….

Although gripped in breathless paralyzing shock, the tribe suddenly puts two and together. This explains the high pitched Swedish accent and inability to speak our language.

I’m just intrigued whether June still gets to receive alimoney after all this.

Sadly, the Chief decides to kill all four in order to cover up his huge mistake of accepting Johnson as the witch doctor. No more of the incident was ever spoken again among the tribe.

I thought this was a family comic… Tarzan just exposed a Johnson.

But we can still have the hanging, right? Right, everybody? Come on, Let’s not let one little kick in the face ruin our whole day.

‘… breathtaking…’ but hey, these guys have their necks in a noose. That’s even more breathtaking now, isn’t it?

Johnson: “I have been transformed!”

…and Johnson got this witch doctor gig, how? Chief ran an ad on Craigslist.

And no pits were dug!

Well, I did. Over a week ago, even before he slipped her the pill. But the pill confirmed it.

The most ridiculous plot reveal since…..oh wait this is a Tarzan comic strip….never mind.

Told you.

Yup. Being carried off into the jungle by a gorilla (probably a native in a gorilla suit) does not mean dead. This is one of the most intriguing spouse murder ideas I’ve seen, though. Elaborate, but intriguing. Can you image the preparation?

As Gomer Pyle would say “Surprise, surprise, surprise! Gollllieee! Who would have seen that coming?”

Nice pajamas.

Surprising no one except Laver.

He’s running around in the jungle wearing what is basically a college mascot costume. He must be suffering from heatstroke half the time

Next strip some of the tribe yelling at the Chief, “We told you that witch doctor who came out of nowhere looked like a phony!”

SHOCK!!!!

What a shocking twi— no, it’s not.
