Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for December 10, 2020

No thanks. I’ll take Tantor.

Tarzan: “Let’s wait for a while … Tantor is going to get very hungry and solve out problem soon.”

Fawna: “Uh … yeah. Was there anything else you wanted me to do … anything else … anything?”

Tarzan: “No, we should be safe now. You might as well rest, and I will watch Tantor”

Fawna: “Well, I am going go up and lay down in that nice cluster of branches. Why don’t you come with me? I am sure Tantor will be fine.”

Tarzan: “Oh! I have an idea! I will jump on Tantor and ride him, then I can find us something to eat.”

Fawna: “Well, if riding and eating is what you want to do, I have a better idea … and we don’t even have to leave the tree.”

Tarzan: “Uh … how are we going to do that?”

Fawna: " .$.%.#..&% !!!!. you $.%.#..! idiot!"

They have a mammoth task in front of them…

Tarzan, eliciting the speed of hondo, the hornet, and the compassion of gimla, the crocodile, grabbed Fawna in his mighty arms and with one colossal effort, flung her to the ground where she bounced twice.

Problem solved, grunted the Lord of the Apes.

Two gorilla in less than a month, Tarzan is on a hot streak.

“You must do exactly as I ask.”

“And what’s that?”

“You must start digging some pits now.”

Will Tantor understand that this was just an accidental discharge of the bow on Tarzan’s part? Tarzan needs to learn to keep his fingers off the string until he is ready to fire.

“I’ve got an idea,” said the Ape-Man. “But you’ve got to do exactly as I ask.”

Hmm. Involving lianas and bindings, eh, Tarzan? Fawna better come up with a safe word quick. ;-)

Uh oh, “Do exactly what I ask!”? Shades of Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby, Jeffrey Epstein, etc.! Fawna, you don’t know what you’re getting yourself into…………. She’s gotten a whole lot uglier over the past few days as well, get yourself to a jungle stylist girl!

Fawn gives skeptical look. She thinks, “This sounds familiar. I got a feeling of where this is going.”

Fauna does not look happy in panel 3.

If a gorilla can confidently wield a big stick, so can Tarz.

Fawna needs a better shampoo, one that gives her more “loft”.

“Every man says that,” Fawna replied. “Do I have to remove clothing or loan you money?”

OK Fauna, while I take a nap, I need you to dig a large pit.

A gorilla needs a mammoth to help him get food. Because ant hills and bananas are so hard to come by? That bolgani needs a new agent, because he was getting the shaft before Clayton put an arrow in him.

Hm….Joan Crawford?
