Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for January 23, 2022

“Grumble” in the jungle.

Reading the news I think to myself: Where the @#%$! is that Tamal guy when we need him most?!

Wrong comment pal; wait the end of the story to understand why…

Ha. You can’t trick me anymore. I looked it up on the calendar. It actually IS a Sunday!

Ah, so, paid media was around those days too, eh.

Dang. Another Sunday. Me must have slept all week again.

Jane’s got a speaking part, that will up her pay packet…..

Whoever said that he wants revenge against the apes who killed his Mom nailed it. Revered and sainted scientist who is hailed as the savior of humanity revealed to have his own secret agenda. Fools entire world. Who’d have imagined?

In all my thoughts of what Jane looked like (because we see her so rarely) I NEVER thought she looked like that. And I don’t mean that in a complimentary way.

So how did he get to England? Did he hitch a ride with J.G.?

Wow! A Sunday strip on a Sunday! Shocker!

“Monkey Man a Scientific Savior” . What kind of news flash would that go in?

Dr. Ortega has a problem with flies in panel 4. Tarzan suggests she stop taking grooming tips from the monkeys.

The young Tamal resembles the grown up man that he is. Hats off to the script artist who painted this.

That’s quite a spread Tarzan and Jane have there. Didn’t they used to live in a treehouse?

I notice that there are quote marks on “doc” in “Hats off to ‘Doc’ Smith!” even though Tamal is a Phd (or maybe an MD; I haven’t been paying attention).   Could it be that the letterer is a Lensman fan?

All that praise goes to the head of Tamal Smith, causing a god-complex. He thinks he can never be wrong or make a mistake!
