Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for December 11, 2022

Try finding large tree “trunks” for covering protection.

Tarzan: “Don’t worry. I have a plan that never fails. We only need some shovels…”

Stampede – the real “Rumble in the Jungle”

That’s “The ‘Call’ of the Wild”, folks and I D’arnot look at how this will end…

Ah yes. It finally time to digs some pits and gets some elephants.

All of a sudden they pass a piece of newspaper round, reading:

Helen: Adventurers certain to die!

Wolf: Tarzan’s neglect.

Elephants: There’s a sale at Penny’s!

Hope the ornery critters don’t knock over the chuck wagon.

“Holy cow! It’s elephants!” is one of the great lines.

I thought Tarzan’s parents died in a plane crash and the apes saved and raised him.

Time to show off another Tarzan skill !

Tantor, I’d like a word with you.

There’s always something, now it’s elephants.

Turns out Larson, the leader with the slow moving brain, has the fastest moving legs!

“Help, help,” cried Piglet, “a Heffalump, a Horrible Heffalump!” and he scampered off as hard as he could, still crying out, “Help, help, a Herrible Hoffalump! Hoff, hoff, a Hellible Horralump! Holl, holl, a Hoffable Hellerump!”

Well, according to panel 1, they’ve found Warrick. They can go home now. After they find Larson, anyway.

Time to quickly dig some deep pits!

In the book, disease killed them. A mother ape’s child died and her mate swapped the dead apeling for the living human baby with dead parents neat him. Or at least the father. He had recorded the birth and mentioned the baby’s foot smeared the ink in the journal. The smear recorded his footprints and the attestation of his paternity, plenty of proof for court.

Oh thank god, someone activated the emergency elephants and cut off the flashback.
