Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for April 24, 2021

Hey, hang on a second. He may have blacked out, or fainted, but you, you just watched this poor, gun waving, handsome, white hunter being dragged off by the hideous gorilla. Who’s a coward now? Hmm?

Gee. Too bad he wasn’t hiding in the bushes like you, Junie.

Oh Jeez. Will someone just shoot her? I’m starting to look forward to the Sunday strip!

Dejected and whipped poopy pants Charles Laver sits on his log pondering about where he can find a dry cleaners to unsoil his safari pants. Plus, he’s a nail-biter as well, ugh! “Sweet supportive” June is back in play as the spoiled, gold-digging husband abuser….where’s Dr, Phil when you really need him? Jungle soap opera for certain………

Well she’s no Annie Oakley, didn’t they even teach her how to use a pistol for self-defence in a jungle?

Tarzan’s turn to speak, needs one of his great plans to sort this out.

Okay, so let me guess. June is playing a role here. She set the whole thing up with the handsome guide to get dragged off by a gorilla who is really an extra stuntman from the previous story arc. So the guide is alive and waiting for her, having a beer with the gorilla suit stuntman. June’s giving her story to Tarzan hoping he’ll back her up when the “gorilla” kills her husband so she can run off with the guide and all her husband’s money. That’s the plan but Tarzan’s going to spoil it!

Ooooo….She’s mean!!! (Like a spinning buzz saw!)

You’ve obviously got some money, Charles. Why don’t you trade her in for one a little less mouthy? Just sayin’. ;-)

Tarzan’s still taking all this in. He’s thinking I may have to make them walk on a bridge over some crocodiles.

June looks more like someone’s wife on Leave it to Beaver than a vixen. Come to think of it, Barbara Billingsley’s character was named June.

June, you can’t control fainting. To be a coward you’d have to just stand and watch Johnson be carried away. Oh, wait…

Blacked out? Fainted? What’s the difference?
