Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for November 24, 2020

Fawna to the rescue…

Her equivalent in the book was pretty badass.

The reason Neanderthals became extinct: all of their rocking chairs fell off the porch

Those are some serious scrape wounds Fauna is going to have on her legs and knees there.

“It’s a Balrog! Fly, you fools!” How many get the reference? Hint. Fawna wasn’t there to save Gandalf.

Is that the ever present full moon in the last frame?

Maybe Fawna is badass only when the moon is full, which would be forever in this case, come to think of it.

Fawna’s not as helpful as it seems. She hasn’t eaten in days.

Bolgani takes a tumble while clutching Tarzan’s hair and Fauna grabs his ankle, sound like a Thanksgiving dinner onslaught and I’ll take a thigh!

The background of the full moon has a flavor of Van Gough’s “Starry Night”. As we have seen several times, John Cerlardo, the comic’s illustrator from 1954 to 1968, was very talented.

I also like Fawna’s extended profile in the last panel. After seeing her on the previous day, Ughmat is definitely going to be on the winning end of this marriage.

Yew!, she’s grabbing Tarzan’s stinky feet!

Fawna be as fine as Lucinda!

Prehistorical novel I listened to 20-odd years ago, Dance of the Tigers by a Finnish anthropologist, speculated that the Neanderthals disappeared by intermarrying with moderns, whose smooth faces were cute to them like their childrens’.

At last, a female that can take some action, and not just sit and scream…

Wait, why is Tarzan fighting a gorilla? Wasn’t he raised by them?
