Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for April 24, 2023

It’s not so “simian” surviving there.

Ha. This big monkey already coming from a pit too. Tarzan not even has to digs one for him.

Tarzan’s response: “Goom, vanquish Suten and be king of the Hesi-Herians as well as the talking apes.”

Goom: “Hey Suten, thought we were friends?”

Now do they give Goom a spear butt? Do they heck……..

Now is the time for a little natter with Goom………

For a moment there, I thought Suten was flipping Tarzan the bird.

The talking apes? I think that’s a new revelation. Earlier apes just left off playing bridge at the bottom of the pit when the alarm rang saying someone was trying to steal the diamond and came up to kill the thief.

I guess I’m grateful they haven’t said much. Level of dialogue has been less than spectacular even for the people. Apes are dull. Probably talk about the last bridge hand.

They don’t say much, but when they do say something people listen.

Goom is about to say, “Hey, Suten, why don’t you take care of Tarzan yourself?”

“Tarzan, is that you old buddy old pal? Long time since our days at Jungle U. "

OR, "Tarzan, Tarzan Dinkleswift, it’s me Goom Slipperyvine, class of 30!

Tarzan said I shall not grapple with him lest he put on some trousers.

The apes actually don’t talk much. They just mumble and sulk a lot about how they have to live at the bottom of a pit.

Let the games begin !

Goom the king of talking apes eh. Now Tarzan will has a good talk with him and turns him against those clowns eh.

Goombye, Goom. You rank pretty low on the list of things Tarzan has had to fight and defeat. Once he gets onto your back, it’ll all be over.

“And, if thou losest, thou shalt take his place in the pit. We have heard how much thou lovest pits.”

Throwest him on the boss!!

You mean UNCLE Goom?

Mon Dieu! Goom looks like a mafia hitman—-huge body and small head, even smaller brain. Tarzan should be done with him by Wednesday by Buddah!

“and another one bites the dust”

Goom the king of talking apes eh. What’s he gonna do talk him to death?

Is Goom an ancestor of Grodd?

I can’t wait for Tarzan to tell Goom “Take your stinking paws off me, you [darned] dirty ape!”

Goom’s real name is “Goomba the Great” and does anyone actually know what goes on below the chamber’s floor in that pit? Just how many overgrown Apes live down there? Meanwhile Tira is in her chamber pleasuring herself with that elusive sausage salami Helen and Letha were so desperate to find…….OOoooooLaLa, Sacre Bleu, Oui Oui!

Tarzan: “Goom old buddy! I haven’t seen you since we were balus teasing Kerchek.” “Come on over here I want you to meet some tarmangani friends of mine.”

Easy-peesy for the Lord of the Apes, thou shalt see!
