Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for June 05, 2021

Does the knife give Tarzan an unfair advantage?

Come back on Monday for our next installment :

“The Apes Of Wrath”

“Things Are Looking Hairy”.

Poor Tarzan. The latest victim of cancel culture. This was the first adventure comic strip ever, the first of its kind. True, lotsa stories in this was ridiculous, but so are the so called stories of some new comics. And who finds great artwork like this in new ones? Although we can finds this in erbzine, there is no commentary allowed there. Our fun has been taken away from us. Very sad and disappointing.

Time for Tarzan to kill at least two maybe three more animals before he gets canceled.

You think this maybe is amateur theatre? He’s the king. That’s his motivation. All comers are attacked. That’s how it is with lions, tigers and all other critters. The dominant male is always ready to stand and defend. Law of the jungle.

Akut, I don’t want to kill you, but I will. Now, what is your problem? Oh, just want to be a big shot. OK. Die sucker!

the rest are munching snacks enjoying the show.

Bloody conflict? That will be a first if Tarzan gets bloody. All those fights with big cats and never so much as a scratch. I think a good way to end this strip would be to see Tarzan in the hospital!

The last paragraph added on the 18th of April gives some hope

Silly ape: bringing bare hands to a knife fight.

So for no good reason, Akut attacks Tarzan when every jungle legend says it’s a very bad idea.

This strip gets LOTS of comments, and lots of ads, too. I don’t know why they’d kill this golden goose. The quality of the artwork is pretty good, which we like, and the plots are stupid, so we enjoy kicking them around, and we get pretty deeply involved. That is assurance that it’ll always be read, and (for us free-loaders at least) lots of ads will be seen.

Another dead lowland Bolgani coming up and then the famous Dum-Dum Dance as seen on “Africa’s Got Talent”! More action in the last two days than the entire Laver tale…..Bundolo Kreegah Akut!

$5 on Zan.

Thank you, Dave. I went to the site and nosing around, I found this bio of ERB. I only knew the outline of his life – that he began writing to amuse himself. I was an adult before I learned that the town of Tarzana (near Los Angeles) was ERB’s ranch named for the character who paid for it! Also, he disliked the Tarzan movies. https://www.edgarriceburroughs.com/erb-biography/

Yeah, I know Tarzan shrieked and bellowed, but what noises did the gorilla make?

These greedy s-bags had better not cancel our Tarzan!
