Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for August 27, 2023

For them, the “Awful” Tower.

Would you hit a man with glasses, no, I’d use my fist…..

Well obviously climax scene must be in some tourist attraction.

Where to begin… Two taxis are shown, we are told who is in them (no Tarzan) – but are told he is running faster than a taxi… Actually, depending on the time of day and neighborhood you can run faster than traffic in parts of Paris – also in New York, Boston, Chicago, LA, etc. That is not the outside of Notre Dame – it is set back from sidewalk and street. Did Morrow even look at a picture, or he figured why bother when the script makes no sense? Big building, how did Tarzan know where to climb for “the most direct route”? Notre Dame doesn’t have these kind of open windows… Or have they punched out the stained glass? The last two or three Sunday arcs have shown the strip not on its deathbed, but in its grave.

Tarzan playing Quasimodo. Oops, is this the right building?

“Good blood”? Must be a French colloquialism.

Their two best friends, Smith & Wesson.

Trying to understand why John has to take his shirt off every time he does something

I’m guessing that’s supposed to be a .38? Never seen a .38 with a frame that small holding 6 bullets. Usually it’s 5.

As I have said before Sunday strip stories like the current one….SUK! Could just as easily be a Dick Tracy tale.

Is Helene going to shoot her paramour, Dahaml, accidentally when gunning for Tarzan? Will the gendarme witness it all?

Faster than a speeding taxi! —And not even breathing heavy….
