Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for September 26, 2023

“Melee Medley.”

A hockey game has broken out.

M’lunga suddenly forgot everyone was supposed to speak English?

“… And the man in the back said, “Everyone attack”And it turned into a ballroom blitzAnd the girl in the corner said, “Boy I want to warn you”It’ll turn into a ballroom blitz…"

Someone is about to get the point of this story. Let’s see…West is probably the most expendable person.

M’lunga’s untreated speech impediment once again jeopardizes the entire attack.

And now they’ve wakened that giant flesh-eating monster from its morning nap…..here we go!

No one noticed that Betty suddenly has an over skirt cover up for the bikini she was in while climbing the steep cavern walls?

Look at the size of that spear! Overcompensating much? ☺

They just ain’t no safe places nowadays!!

It’s nice to have some action after all that walking around.

ERB’s Law: When in doubt, have a man come around a rock with a spear in his hand.

with apologies to Raymond Chandler

“…neither Tarzan nor his companions were aware of the danger creeping steadily upon them from behind.” Huh? M’Lunga is right there with Merala, whom Tarzan is facing, right? I’m so confused! And if M’Lunga did somehow sneak around from behind, either he finally took a bath, or the Ape-man’s legendary sense of smell is overhyped. Or maybe that bearded, hirsute fella is M’Lunga’s twin, and he just has better personal hygiene habits… Whatever, I need a cheat sheet for this crazy plot line…
