Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for January 28, 2021

There goes another beautiful jungle cat! Is that dumb blonde picking her nose in the first panel, and has Tarzan’s magic knife gotten longer? Looks more like a WW1 bayonet!

Note the other man’s unchivalrous stance of not being in front to protect the woman.

It appears that he was getting ready to shove her into the panther and run.

So now you know why black panthers are so rare in Africa. But that will perhaps be visible tomorrow.

No, no. Don’t kill poor kitty.

The woman seems to be happy about the approaching panther? A fan of em Cat People movies?

Tarzan likes a little hand to paw tussle with these cats before knifing them.

“It might get a new blade, or a new handle, but it’s still my father’s knife” to paraphrase the king in “The Fifth Elephant” ~ Terry Pratchett

Or you can use the bow and arrow finally. Just saying. My cat gets scratchy just touching his tummy.

At least Tarzan can use the panther skin for a new pair of shorts. The one he’s wearing is so old the leopard spots have completely faded on one side.

“Shoo! Shoo kitty! Bad sheeta!”

Panther Pardus: “Hey! I recognize those spots; You’re wearing my uncle Fred.”

Nothing worse than a contemptuous snarl. I get a lot of that.

So two people are in the middle of the jungle without any weapons to defend themselves? Might be time to thin the herd here Tarzan. And I don’t mean the cat herd. Let natural selection take its course.

Cat realizes this is a buffet-all-you-can-eat dinner.

If Tarzan’s loincloth was any tighter it’d be a tattoo by now.

I like the “WTF!?” expression on the panther’s face in the second panel.

I guess you don’t get any style points for using the bow. Either way, sorry, Sheeta, it’s curtains for you. The Ape-Man is about to acquire a black loincloth. You know, formal wear. ;-)

Someone gave Tarzan a wedgie. Or just likes to draw men’s butts.

almost 8 million square miles of Tropical Jungle in Africa and all these dumb tourists always get lost or in trouble near Tarzan.

Isn’t there someone else they can get help from?

Lydia pulls out her gun and shoots the panther. “You should be more careful,” she says to Tarzan. “You almost got in the way.”

Tarzan’s spotted shorts lost some spots in the second panel today. Also they are fitting much tighter than usual, he must have really packed poor Horta’s ribs in earlier.

He’s going to kill ANOTHER big cat? For a jungle lord, he sure hates animals. .
