Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for April 21, 2023

“Shogun” wedding.

When you’ve been raised by apes, you don’t really have the etiquette to wait for the “speak now or forever hold your peace” bit.

You have to fight, for your right, to party!

“Didn’t I just throw these Bozos in the jug?” demanded the king, “what are they doing here?”

“I dunno, your kingship Sir, maybe they’re identical twins?”

“Well they’re not too bright, are they? Raising his arm to stop a room full of guards?”

“Maybe not, your Majesticus, but we let ’em keep their weapons and putting them in cells with open doors.”

What.s Tarzan and D’Arnot so excited about? It’s not like it’s a legal wedding and will never hold up in a court of law. Just rescue her after the wedding when she is alone with the king and before the consummation.

Tarzan knows their ways, he will challenge the Sultan to a thumb wrestling match, winner takes all.

D’Arnot is finally in a fighting mood, he’ll show them a thing or two. Grrr!

Well, that worked.

Oh how splendid ! My very favorite villain command – “ seize them ! “

Great plan, Tarzan. Now how can you digs a pit for em when you is arrested?

Nice one Tarzan! Now it’s back to the cell and having to start all over again. Tarzan has had some lame plans in the past and “I’ll just speak sternly and put a stop to this” is right up there.

“Seize them alive! Killing them now would be expedient!”

“Well, here’s another fine mess you’ve gotten us into”

I wonder what those spears will mutate into in tomorrow’s strip.

Pretty dumb ploy, Apeman. Now, whatcha gonna do?
