Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for March 07, 2023

Two figures with “simian” bloodlines.

What’s on the Guard Ape’s right arm? Is he wearing just one Hulk glove? Or is it the dreaded one gauntleted Michael Jackson-Guard Ape? Is he green? I don’t see sequins. This will cause nightmares! If his nose disappears and he starts moonwalking we’ll have our answer. Tune in tomorrow for the next exciting episode.

Oh well. There goes another ape to Tarzan’s knife.

First you’re not able to move, then you are advised not to move, difficult times. Oh, and people are dying all around. And apes too.

Poor Wolfie, he was a fun safari guy.

RIP Wolf! But, you know what they say: “live by the sword, die by the…”uh…gorilla?

Stand still, gives me a head start.

This is a job for Tarzan.

The cartoonist didn’t know enough French to record Darnot’s answer.

would it be out of place to point out gorillas don’t eat meat? why would the ape bite him instead of pounding him to scrapple?

“Stand still, Paul! Don’t move! I’ll go for help!”

Where was good old sneaky Chiram when that hungry huge ape sank his teeth into Wolf’s throat? Now there’s blood all over the floor! Mon Dieu, Sacre Bleu, and Oh My—-who’s next?

Ahh! Tarzan pulls his Magic Knife!

Bye bye, giant man-slayer ape….

Note to self: When stealing precious jewels, always check the nearby pit for the presence of a huge, hulking, vicious, impossible-to-miss gorilla. Oh, well. This poor brute is about to experience the tender mercies of the legendary Greystoke full Nelson. Sucks to be you, Bolgani!

So, if the glare from the diamond paralyzes, how did they get it in the box, anyway? Oh, wait! Silly me! I know! A quartz crystal! They interrupted the paralyzing rays with a quartz crystal! Of course! Child’s play!
