Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for July 16, 2019

Oh, Tarzan, Shirley you Geste!

C’est Beau! C’est Beau!

So now Tarzmanian is fighting for the French? Just wait ’till Jane finds out!

I know! Let’s desecrate the corpses of our fallen comrades! That will fool the enemy for five or ten … seconds. But hey! It’s fun.

Tarzan is not at all sentimental about human life, living or dead people are just pawns in his constant plans.

I mentioned Beau Geste about a week ago but I didn’t know the author would use that part of it. Let’s hope the Arabs didn’t see the movie.

Once again, the jungle boy is smarter than a group of trained legionnaires and their captain too. So much for all the army training. The monkey training is better!

This is plagiarism of Beau Geste.

I think I saw this in a movie somewhere.

So is this the strategy?

Arab 1: “What are they doing with those corpses?”

Arab 2: “I have no idea.”

Arab 1: “Yeesh. It creeps me out, wondering what sort of sick, twisted thing they’re up to.”

Arab 2: “Yeah, let’s get out of here before we see something we can’t unsee.”

Tarzan must have watched that old Gary Cooper “Beau Geste” movie to employ this strategy.
