Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for November 29, 2023

“Male” break.

“And then what, Tarzan?”

“And then we gathers all our quarry pals and digs some pits for mad Merala and her merry mens.”

By this point in this long story arc, I’m now rooting for Team Hunting Lions. Goooo Lions!

Get the girls and get. Don’t stop to get breakfast. Just. Get…..

Umm, I’m a little unclear of the order of events. Why does Kailuk need to wait for Tarzan to get inside before going over? If Tarzan’s first thought it open the gate Kailuk couldn’t he wait for Tarzan to open it? Couldn’t they climb over together and Kailuk head for the slave compound and start freeing slaves while Tarzan moves the heavy bars? Does Tarzan want to show off that he has the strength to move the heavy bars by himself?

Oops, always a beautiful maiden on the other side of the wall. “Oh strong and brave Tarzan, take me with you” Tarzan goes Conan, “By Crom I will save you woman!” Hours later, Tarzan – “By St. Denis there was something else I was doing?”

They still have to arm the slaves after they free them. The armory is on the other side of the city and there are still hunting lions roaming around.

The redemption of the quarry slaves is near .

“And don’t trip on the bodies of the guards.”

“…. unless you also see a spear sticking through me. In that case, you’re on your own — quite literally.

‘Round and ’round this long and now boring tale goes….where’s O’Rorke, Lukah, Betty Boops, Dr. Wong, M’lunga and getting crazier by the day, deranged Merala? Oh, and don’t forget those half-starved man-eating lions………

And so it goes, and goes, and goes. Are we getting the Runaround?
