Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for October 20, 2023

“Rattle” Stations.

These two are no match for black-maned Numa! Meanwhile Tarzan is still busting rocks in the hot sun and where’s Betty and “Dr.” Wong? Round and round we go gang……

I think poor Numa is about to get the point…..

Somehow almost all lions in Tarzan appears to be man eating lions who is instantly heads to pounces upon mans. And they all is get killed.

Will we see someone other than Tarzan kill a lion? Will a lion finally manage to kill on of Tarzan’s friends? Will Tarzan’s slave revolt have worked and he arrives at the last second to save them? Will the lion give them a choice of being killed or buying home insurance (bundled with boat and auto)?

Come back tomorrow to the answer to the life, the universe, and everything!

As opposed to milk-run speed.

That’s why I always carry a can or two of Fancy Feast when I’m in the jungle. It would easily distract that beast.

At express speed. Fortunately it is not a local. Numa should speed right by the St. Dennis devotees.

Tarzan has taught them everything he knows. Now it is time for the grasshoppers to leave the nest.

Step One; Dress for the occasion, O’R needs the cheetah cloth.Step Two; …

O’Rorke: “Do not worry. Tarzan taught me a lot about survival, among other things a plan that never fails. Let’s see… we need a shovel”.

After repeated requests, St. Dennis finally appears. Needing one more miracle to assure his canonization, he airdrops Tarzan in front of them.

Let battle be joined !

You’d think, after all the lions that Tarzan has slaughtered, that through the miracle of natural selection, the remaining lion population would have developed an instinctive aversion to shirtless humans. But no. Go figure.

Peppermint Patty is needed now to take care of that big kitty.

The poor thing must be starving to attack two men; most lions would be wary. Have some compassion and give it O’Rorke.

…. but then somebody with a laser pointer distracted it and saved the day!!

Even a Jungle Terror will be just another pushover pussycat for Tarzan….
