Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for January 18, 2021

Ah the old “sacrifice Tarzan plot” again. In the book “Tarzan the Terrible” this is where Korak shows up at the last second.

One good yodel and get Tantor / Neanderthals / Bulgani in….

Don’t tell me there’s a volcano nearby.

Mawwiedge! Mawwiedge is what bwings us togevvah!

This is one long tale.

The women are letting the men handle this. Call us when you’re done boys.

Fauna and Alure decide there is way too much toxic masculinity, and decide to elope with each other.

Way to go Roden. You just needlessly extended this story arc another ten days or so.

Today Tarzan is blaming the impetuous Roden, but loyally standing by him, fool that he is. Of course, last Friday, Tarzan was charging into the room, “rending and tearing”. Nothing impetuos about that.

Once again the Bad Guy failed to read the Evil Overlord Handbook that warns about delaying killing the Good Guy.

A book of verses underneath the bough / A jug of swine, a loaf of bread and thou.

How can a man who can kill a Silverback Gorilla be subdued up by a couple of guys with maybe one spear between them?And how hard must it be to script a cliff hanger in 3 or 4 panels every day?And why does Spell Check keep changing my misspelled “spper” to “Speer” as in Albert of WW2 fame?

I can almost hear wooly Tantor and Omat’s club-wielding cave man clan at the gates, can you? I wonder what type of monster Ludon keeps as a “pet”, maybe it looks like Harvey Weinstein…….or, is he planning to cut out Tarzan’s and Roden’s heart. Meanwhile the girls just stand by and watch…..where’s Sheena, or Cave Girl?

Pleasure before business, eh, Ludon?
