Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for June 20, 2023

People trafficking is punishable with more “subplots”.

Not really open to persuading is he? This comes from not having your breakfast……

Ah the old get captured and then escapes trick again eh Tarzan.

DEath by Boola Boola !

Flayed alive by the light of the moon .

The old tomorrow night routine. These death penalty cases always give you plenty of time to escape.

Dem Unga-Bungas don’ like it when dem white-boy elephant riders “steal” their women. So nows Tarzan and his crew will face the boilin’ stew pot with all those collards, black-eyed peas, and marrow bones fer the big she-bang pull-’em apart dinner. Better git yer orders in before all dem gud pieces are gone…wanna breast, wanna a thigh, wanna leg, wanna head and best of all want some ribs?

Well, if somebody stole your precious little sweet pea, you’d be more than a bit grumpy, too. I guess we gotta cut ol’ Hemaku a little slack. Not that it will help Tarzan and the boys when they are being baked to a delicate crunch. ;-)

Wait, the guy that hit Tarzan on the head. Was he wearing a French Gendarme uniform?

“Now, Chief, you is mistaken. Those is North Kohrian. We is South Kohrian. We good guys, see?”

This is the danger when all white people look alike to someone else. You get blamed for their wrongs. Good thing WE would never do anything like that.

“Heavily upon the head”… Must have been a fat-head.

(≖_ʖ ≖)

“OK if we steal some boys, then?”

So far this is almost the “Tarzan’s Quest” (where he discovers the pills that help him stay young) All it needs now is for Jane to be in a plane crash and also get captured by the Kohrian.

Of course the tribe of white savages in the book are the Kavuru, not the Kohrian’s but ERB was notorious for reusing his plots for various media.

Chief, you need to put a ‘surely’ before ‘die’ to make that last sentence scan right.

Tarzan ain’t no Human Trafficker, Hemanu….
