Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for December 09, 2021

There is nothing to “love” about this perilous mission.

No, not a hollow basketball or soccer ball or beach ball. How many times do I have to tell you? A stupid tennis ball!

Ah, so that’s the moon, eh. Now I’m intrigued whether they has the rest of the solar system in there too.

Now waitsaminute. It look like their moon rotates around their sun? Then by definition it should be a planet and not moon? Oh well, whatever. This tale is too crazy even for me.

Probably just a couple of tennis players on their way to the tournament.

So the moon provides ‘Nighttime’ so by definition ‘Breakfast’!!!!

A couple (?) of years earlier Tarzan was there with that red headed chick and her airplane, the Sunday strips.

This story is clear as “SMOKE” being the 70s and all.

“It’s a Spad! And the pilot has this HUGE nose!”

The “science” of Pellucidar is from Edgar Rice Burroughs’ 1914 book “At the Earth’s Core.”

Wow, Mr. Burroughs must have smoking some crazy ganji, a lot of it. I read his Mars series when I was a teeny bop, but never got into the Tarzan stuff, and never read “At the Earth’s Core”. I got hooked on E.E. “Doc” Smith and R. A. Heinlein.

“Very good, Lieutenant! Now see if you can recognize a cloud.”

I would guess that the airplane is probably a thipdar, a kind of pterosaur.
