Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for February 14, 2020

Lunch is being delivered

Soon to be an extinctelope

Meat on the hoof.

Oh the poor antelope. Rushes right in to become the jungle killer’s breakfast.

Sable to table.

A snorting, charging Sable Antelope is the new adventure? This is the nightmarish new adventure we were promised? I feel cheated.

Couldn’t resist googling it. There are several species of antelope: The most elegant antelope species in the Africa includes Eland ,Kudu, Nyala, Sable and Scimitar oryx, Grant’s gazelle, Lechwe, Gerenuk, Topi, Hartebeest, Bontebok and Bongo antelope.

I have to wonder why a beast who is prey (a ruminant for example?) would charge a predator. I would think he’d just hide. Maybe it’s a cow protecting her young ones?

Interesting because I was under the assumption that “Sable Antelopes” were only found in India. We have seen there there. Years ago Tarzan was attacked by a “Rattlesnake”, none of which are found in Africa!

Mistake #1 for Sable Antelope.

Tarzan has a special place for this kind, gentle creature. Right between the veggies and the mashed potatoes.

Tarzan used the cry of the bull ape to order in.

Tarz’s version of Grubhub.

This looks like the story arc where animals were affected by potions created by the evil witch doctors/scientists. But I thought we had already seen that one.

All will be made clear shortly—this is “Tarzan And The Insect Men”. Stay tuned for the pretty blonde.

Always time for a quick tussle with a sable antelope before tea, quite!
