Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for June 01, 2022

Love is in the air…

“In those days spirits were brave, the stakes were high, men were real men, women were real women and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri really were small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri” ~ Hitch-hikers guide to the Galaxy………..

Playing hard to get huh?

Actually, in the “Bloopers” reel for this strip, Innes missed Hooja and accidentally hit Dian. Everybody had a good laugh and they quit drawing for the day.

And Innes thinks to himself, “Dames! Go figure…”

Dian spent most of the “At the Earth’s Core” novel disdaining Innes because he would never come out and clearly state his feelings towards her, not realizing that Innes didn’t want to be forward. Victorian mores at work.

Just when me thought we gets back to Tarzan and his monkey adventures in the jungle, we goes back to another tale of this dismal underground land…

Jungle romance triangle……just what we need! UGH!!

This looks like Terry and the Pirates or something like that.

amazingly, something like 58 years later, I remember that passage from the actual ERB novel this was adapted from. I remember going, what’s the matter with that woman, talking to that guy that way! Later on I learned that puzzlement and encounters with women often go together. But—it is a sublime puzzlement.

innes didnt know the rules and the consequences

“You should have claimed me as your right by conquest. You have insulted me. Rather than us both enjoying my greatly desired time of passion, I hate you with a passion. (I am very passionate.)”
