Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for February 18, 2023

Startling “elevation”.

They speak gravely all the time, not just now. Might be connected to their masks. Let’s see if they speak differently in the senoot.

Ah yes. A curious looking vehicle to takes them to the big pit on the top of the mountain.

Rats, not Raquel Welch (rip)

They removed their robes?! Sir, this is a family comic strip!

Well, killing the flying snake explains why they let them keep their weapons. Now they’re all friends. Of course, in real life they would have killed more than the flying snake.

Kind of like the cable car at Santorini to save some walking uphill.

“I thank thee” Otamu said. Too bad I’ll have to kill you soon.

“I’m glad I’m not dead, Otamu said, gravely.”

“I’m glad I could save you, Tarzan said, heroically…”

A “Snot” will carry them to the crest of the volcano while the biblical-speaking Otamu followers wait below. Atop the volcano is a Denny’s specializing in an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet, plus the girls (Helen and Letha, remember them?) awaiting their arrival. PIE JIMINEY ain’t dis exciting?

Well, it’s just rude not to.

“You call it a trolley car; we call it a senoot. You call it corn; we call it maize. You say toe-may-toe; we say toe-mah-toe…,” droned Otamu, on and on. “Geez,” mused Tarzan, “I’m beginning to regret shooting that Aarat in the face. And it turns out, under that robe, Otamu is not even a chick; he’s a dude! Just my lousy jungle luck!”
