Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for September 17, 2019

Panel # 2 : Tarzan is turning into The Joker.

He’s dead Jim, but not as we know it…

Don’t do the brown acid.

So Tarzan has totally lost it.

They will continue their fight in Purgatory.

One has to wonder if Lord Greystoke was smokin’ something, if we didn’t know he was in the throes of thirst-induced dilerium. ( I haven’t remembered those words since college-50 years ago.)

“Aye, aye! it was that accursed white Sam that razeed me; made a poor pegging lubber of me for ever and a day!

”Aye, aye! and I’ll chase him round Good Hope, and round the Horn, and round the Norway Maelstrom, and round perdition’s flames before I give him up. And this is what ye have shipped for, men! to chase that white Sam on both sides of land, and over all sides of earth, till he spouts black blood and rolls fin out. What say ye, men, will ye splice hands on it, now?

“I think ye do look brave.”

Panel #2 A most crazed man!

Is it the desert sun causing all of this or did Lassa slip something into his water before he left?

Desert sun, extreme dehydration.

Tarzan is turning into John Carter of Mars after consuming some loco-weed, the same vegetation that killed his camel.

Sam is cocked and Tarzan is half-cocked.

Sam has returned from the dead and looking better than ever. And he wants Tarzan dead-dead-dead.
