Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for November 07, 2023

The climactic “overture”.

It time for a cantantorous stampede!

That took you a mighty long time! Didn’t you hear us readers shouting??

Who can tell me how a stentorian call by Tarzan sounds? Wouldn’t that be a tantorian call??

I had to look that up……..

The adjective stentorian comes from Greek mythology. Stentor was a herald in the Trojan War, mentioned in Homer’s “Iliad.” Homer wrote of brazen-voiced Stentor, whose cry was as loud as that of fifty men together. So anyone with a stentorian voice has a voice like the mythic Stentor.

For a tiny tribe of primitive white savages they’re living large. (And will the hypnotic voice trick that began the arc ever be mentioned again?)

Nice folk these Korhians, all want to see a guy flogged to the bone during their lunch hour, then back to work.

Time for those ivory tusks to get to work!

In the foreground we see the QAnon Shaman who showed up early to sign autographs.

There’s a lot of people there, Tarzan may need more than one elephant to crunch this bloodthirsty crowd.

Ahh . . . at last .

That last panel is channeling Ron Ely .

With all of the excitement about to ensue, I hope Merala brought an extra pair of underwear!

Stentor is also a microscopic ciliate shaped like a long horn, narrow at one end and wide at the other.

Hearing Tarzan’s voice, Black Malluk smiled grimly.

It’s Tantor-tantrum time! Woo hoo! :-)
