Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for September 22, 2020

Wildy? A bolt action? That doesn’t sound right, or have I missed something? Does the writer just mean “without bothering to aim properly”? (Yeah, I know, that wouldn’t fit in the panel…)

So you can fire at two innocent (well …) guys and kill them (from behind), but you can’t kill an animal that is much larger? Oh, I see, it was moving…

Now look what you done, fatso. The only way to stop him now is to prepare a pit. What cha gaping at? Start digging!

Tarzan snarled in disgust at Pomeroy (literally “Royal Apple”), while grimly contemplating the splinter in his index finger.

Tarzan grimly determined to pack a grooming kit with tweezers for his next safari.

Tarzan will have to go finish this load of bull with his knife.

“White man fired wildly”. Must be from Portland.

I believe I read this in a Hemingway short story. I was not going to say anything yesterday, but this is very similar.

That same idea was in Stewart Granger’s and Patrick Swayze’s Alan Quartermain in “King Solomon’s Mines”.

So, before he was wounded, he wasn’t dangerous?

Why is Tarzan tolerating this fool? Stake him out on the Serengeti and let the ants have him.

Tarzan climbs a tree and lets the buffalo do his dirty work.

Tarzan should be flipping porky-pig faced Pomeroy and then gutting him, or maybe the wounded buffalo will do that. Swine Pomeroy’s hair style goes perfectly with his slovenly demeanor and horrible behaviour. When will he turn on Tarzan…you know that’s coming! Pomeroy’s Life Doesn’t Matter…..one bit!!

Okay, that’s it, Pomeroy’s got to go. A knife in the back maybe?
