Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for May 26, 2021

Yep. Makes perfect sense. In the span of two seconds, rescue the victims and kill their own witch doctor. Somebody must have told the writer to hurry this crap along.

and none of this could have happened without Tarzans grandparents meeting by chance in that little cafe in Johannesburg

This is the way jungle justice works: swift, unceremonious killing, no chance for last words. Good thing that villains in Tarzan’s comics do not know that, they always try to kill him by complicated methods (remember Brister?).

Her “husband” and Tarzan rescued from hanging and Johnson a pin cushion, June Laver stood tall and pointed herself at the chief.

“Where’s a gorilla when you need one?,” she asked herself. “Oh, right. Plot hole,” she replied.

Well, he got the point, Tarz and Laver got it in the neck and June is still waiting for breakfast….

June gets hers tomorrow…..hopefully.

…and Johnson goes limp.

I wonder how the chief managed to fix their broken necks.

Cut down? More like skewered down.

WOW! Ended this arch in 2 panels. Oh wait the girl. Here you go Chief! A gift for your troubles. Have many children!

Johnson was a backstabber, now the tables have turned.

See folks? I tolds you that real natives use the old spear em trick and not the hang em to deth trick? I wonder how they didn’t realise the witch doctor was a phony earlier when he chose the odd way of execution.

And thanks to magically healing necks, Tarzan and Laver lived happily ever after with their heads held high. And June enjoyed the rest of her life on alimoney.

And thus concludes the lamest Tarzan story arc, ever. Hopefully, in the epilogue, June will find herself the object of Bolgani’s erotic intentions…

Now it’s time for the quickie divorce.

There will be a huge celebration tonight with what’s left of Johnson as the main course, June will have to consume his entire “sausage” as punishment! Don’t worry…..she can handle it!

I’m still waiting for some of the tribe to shout, “Told ya, the Witch Doctor was a phony!”

They did well in the javelin competition!

I guess the chief got tired of those two hanging around.

Love this strips form the 60’s where the bad guys swiftly meet their end at the point of a spear.

How did Johnson ever get the witch doctor position without the tribe knowing him? A stranger walks in with his face and body completely covered and says he’s got magic and they just buy it?
