Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for September 24, 2021

“Pain” gang.

Mike Machado has a thing for ‘m’ alliteration.

Geez. Peoples is so stupid. They do anything for a dumb video or selfie. Thank goodness I is a bear. Waitsaminute, there’s a guy here trying to takes a selfie video clip with me in it. I’ll be right back after teaching him a lesson he don’t forgets.

Not sure what’s going on with the “Mike Machado’s Script:” thing. If he composed his script back in America after the filming was done it takes any suspense out of the strip. If he composed his script ahead of time, how did he get the hippos to read it and sign the contract? Is this his mind while filming? He doesn’t for a second go, “Holy S**t, she could get hurt!” but rather thinks about what narration he’ll dub in later?

Hippo #1 to Hippo #2: “That cheap bozo Machado hardly pays us. No more. We have a union meeting this afternoon”.

Later it was decided to drive around any future menacing masses of monsters.

First she drives over the back of a crock. Then she drives over the back of a hippo. And the Zodie is inflatable, right? And the hippos have sharp teeth, right? And they are mere feet from her, right? Next storyline please.

Cue Korak.

The hippo said, Ow! My massive menacing @$$!

Again action illustration is magnificent! One can even imagine the sound effects of rising hippo, & motor propeller rpms screaming!

Sadly all of this was for naught as Machado forgot to load the camera with film.

It’s hippo breakfast time with a blonde bimbo twit on the blue-plate special!

Be sure to get it on tape!

She’s so cute, even her feet are cute. Even on the bottom!

From the last panel, it looks like the prop must’ve given that rhino a little boost.

Machado: “That’s great, babe! Now get into it’s mouth for the money shot!”

Wow, glad to be back, just as the action starts by the look of it…..

I didn’t know that the Screen Actor’s Guild had hippos among their membership.

Those hippos are good actors!
