Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for December 14, 2022

“Load levelers.”

I can hear Johnny Weismuller!

Lovely artwork again, I wonder what they are stampeding from?

“Heard you the first time”

He ain’t heavy, he’s my Tantor.

The lead elephant skids to a stop, perks up his ears and says, “Hey, is that Tarzan I hear calling? Everybody stop and listen!.”.

Unfortunately, none of the elephants understood Mangani, so everyone in the expedition (except for Tarzan, of course) was trampled to death.

They are coming for lion steaks.

Kind of reminds me of Tennessee Williams’ “A Streetcar Named Desire” with Marlon Brando screaming “STELLA!”

“Say, Tantor, isn’t that the guy that killed Tantor when he went rogue?”

“Why yes, Tantor, I believe it is!”

“Tantors! Let’s get ’im!”

“Tarzan is such a spoilsport,” thinks the lead elephant.

“Tantor? No, my name is Fred.”
