Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for October 23, 2020

So Pom was also delirious. Or is this temple doing the same appearance/disappearance act as Tarzan’s knife?

Duh ape man! it’s right there in panel one

The mad mind can play all sorts of tricks, all those death for nothing…

Dang those ancient aliens. They built a disappearing temple.

Okay, now push his body over the cliff!

“Not one of Tarzan’s better adventures here Jim”

“Yes Chris, he looked a little slow and underestimated his opponent, caused lots of collateral damage. Can he get his mojo back?”

Now comes the real question. Does Tarzan go through his pockets and take everything of value or just walk away and leave him for the vultures?

Not necessarily; are those ruins that Tarzan sees?

Now, Pomeroy! Now! You faked him out, now push him over the cliff.

Now what will Tarzan do with swine-boy’s carcass, throw it over the precipice for the scavengers to feast upon…….or start digging another grave? There have been so many graves dug by Tarzan during this tale he should open a jungle funeral home! Ever wonder where he gets his digging tools, or does he do it all by knife and hand……. Better get going, pork really stinks when it goes bad!

“My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings — Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!”

Interesting coincidence: in the Annie episode just wrapping up, the villain had an equally imaginary vision (of an alien mother ship come to take him “home”) while staggering on the edge of a sheer cliff. Annie’s villain jumped to his doom, while Tarzan’s died of a knife wound. Moral: if you’re a villain, stay away from cliff edges while hallucinating.

Several minutes later Tarzan put on his glasses and realized his mistake
