Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for August 28, 2020

“Well, whatever floats your boat, Jim. Bye now. I’ve got a new matter to meddle with. I’ve got new pits to dig!”

Of course, we really know what boat and dock Jim is really talking about.

Tawi, still in her “Queen of the Pygmies” outfit, wishes they could have made a quick visit to the local Marshall’s before boarding the boat for the month-long boat to England.

Raised to be a Queen, “She Who Must Be Obeyed”. Good luck Jim, you’ll need it.

“What, you’re still here? Your story arc ended days ago. Get outta here, will ya?”

And tell her to get dressed in real clothes, you know, like what I wear.

Tarzan appears to be focusing quite a bit to only be “vaguely” overhearing and having “little concern”.

I hate when my musings are interrupted.

Why is Monk saying, “…we take care of Pomeroy so we can ‘inherit’ his…” to his buddy, who already knows this? In fact, I think Tarzan had already heard of the plot. Maybe there’s something special in that booze they’re tossing down.

One more thing (sorry, too personal?) Notice how the bad guys always smoked back then. When we were kids, our dad would take us to Saturday movies, where we’d watch Roy Rogers and other great cowboys, none of whom smoked, but the villains did. So, in our school in the inner city (Detroit), all the boys were smoking by the fifth grade, but my brother and I didn’t. Our parents both smoked, but thanks to Roy Rogers, we never did.

Well, Jim, I’m guessing Tawi’s outfit is going to cause quite the stir at the Captain’s table. Good luck with that. Or maybe you could just buy the poor girl an outfit not tailored by Pygmies. Whichever.

Hopefully that boat is not a CoVid19 cruise-liner…….just sayin’. Wearing Masks Matters!!

Tarzan felt little concern, even though it was obvious that they’d have to kill Pomeroy after robbing him. After all, he’d never even met Pomeroy.

Tarzan is quite the nosy parker.

Jim told Tarzan that he would no longer be able to rescue him. He advised him to buy a pair of pants and mind his own business.
