Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for August 03, 2020

That Weera is one ugly pygmy……. A 3 ft tall pygmy madman vs a 6 ft tall apeman? Now this should be interesting. No Marquis of Queensbury rules here.

Aha. I knew it. Weera’s off to prepare some pits to trap Tarzan!

Don’t forget the mind control, size isn’t everything…

So Weera is the only one that is woken up by the din of the battle? The rest of the pygmies must be pretty heavy sleepers.

He shuffled off to Buffalo as the saying goes.

Weera, either wear you helmet, or don’t.

How does one silently shuffle?

If he gets the drop on Tarzan, Weera Alldid

Around the time this was written, hunting in Africa was a great sport (still is for some animals). We would watch on TV, old movies of Osa and Martin Johnson, and Osa would pull out that huge rifle and kill an elephant with it and everyone was all excited and wanting more. Tusks were pulled off for their ivory. No one thought of “endangered species” back then. You killed for sport when you went to Africa or Wyoming or Alaska, and were proud to show off antlers or a bear rug.

It looks like Tarzan may be overwhelmed by superior forces and imprisoned. With his knife. That never gets old.

Does Weera still have time to make out his will?

Weera hunches over as he shuffles. Maybe arthritis. Doesn’t look like it’ll be much of a contest.
