Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for August 28, 2019

And so, Tarzan conveniently gets his very own band of mercenaries to go after Sam.

Just one favor? Shouldn’t I get like three ?

The Sheikh looks a little soft so it looks like a story where Tarzan will need to help him with something.

“Hide me. The French Foreign Legion wants be for desertion”

Tarzan paused for a moment only, then asked Sheik Ali for the one thing he needed to resolve the plot … a large box of continuity.

Wasn’t Tarzan murdering Arabs by the score a few panels back?

Any favor? Sex with your daughter.

Ali Babba: What’s this I hear about you pole dancing a the club?

Lassa Opso: Oh Dad, those nomads are pulling your leg again.

The Sheik then tells his daughter that he is down many men as they just got through attacking a French Foreign Legion outpost but were denied victory by a tall, muscular, good looking stranger who slaughtered his Arab troops.

Yeah, I guess Daddy’s totally cool with his baby girl working as a pole dancer. Maybe he figures it builds character to “work” your way through college, eh? Is it just me, or is Islam a lot more uptight now than it used to be? ;-)

Bring me the head of my enemy.

How’s about a sturdy steed and good shish-kebab meal so I can beat it out of here before you find out what really happened with your “dancing” daughter in the desert?

“Got any elephants? I haven’t killed an elephant for a while now…”

He seems surprisingly unconcerned that his daughter is a hoochie mama

Last week he was gaining maximum carnage killing Arabs, this week he’s making happy families with them. Tarzan, Man of Convenient Ethics.
