Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for August 10, 2020

The usual error of movie villains: instead of killing the hero right away, they talk, talk, talk… and in the meantime the hero gets free or someone arrives to save him.

So Jim came to his senses then.

So suddenly today, the knife for some reason slid through the netting & is now hanging outside & out of reach?

Oh boy. Don’t tell me Biggim is going to get sheesh kebabed instead.

Biggim doesn’t have to worry about that spear that Weera has. It’s the bone in his nose that he needs to watch out for.

Sooo, two against one! Weera shouts. And goes into a long monologue about the innate unfairness of it all. Until Jim can get closer.

“Stop right there”“Oh, OK”

And where are all those pygmy guards when ya need em? Don’t they guard their chief hocus pocus guy’s quarters? Don’t tell me Biggim beat up all of em.

A warning yell? Yeah, ‘cuz it’s always sporting to warn the guy with a spear that you are on the attack with nothing but your bare hands. ;-)

I was hoping Weera would invite the pygmies, and then have a pinata party.

The knife was not sticking outside the net the last three days. He who lives by the disappearing knife dies by the disappearing knife.

Artwork reminds me of the old song Ahab the Arab, ‘with a bone thru her nose’.

Will Jim be Biggim enough to take on Weera? Probably only enough to give Tarzan time to grab the knife and get rid of the net.

Just seeing that monkey-faced Jim Biggim would scare the heck out of anyone. Tarzan has best get to cutting that net before Biggim gets skewered, and where is that slick sailor-boy Kulp been……. With Queen Tiri I suppose!

The full moon is still out. Jim Biggim has turned into were-hog.

Weera: “No, Mr Tarzan. I expect you to die!”
