Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for January 17, 2024

Tantor could use some “trail” mix for healing.

Spear saving saviour, sorted snorkel swiftly……

“Tarzan?” the wife of the bull leader of the pack asked gently (in elephant, of course).

“Yes?” answered Tarzan. Who fortunately was also fluent in elephant (besides ape, zebra, ostrich, and lion… Tarzan doesn’t get many chances to speak lion. Mostly a little trash talk before killing them. Never learned rhino… Never wanted to learn rhino. No one wants to learn rhino. You do? Good luck with that.)

The cow requested. “When the hubby is better, can you help us find the coward who did this?”

“Funny you should ask,” the ape man replied.

Don’t you just hate it when you get a sliver in the nose?

If it was Nelson who injured Tantor, he’s now in big trouble… elephants never forget!

Before sending him on his way, Tarzan gently cautioned Tantor about acupuncturists, and advised him to stick with licensed medical professionals.

Tarzan has a cunning plan: Tantor and Friends and all that lovely ivory can walk past the village, draw the bad guys out, while Tarzan sneaks in and rescues the beautiful maiden.

Then Tarzan put a Pikachu band aid on Tantors trunk and sent him on his way. Oh, and that deep rumbling was just gas.

Tarzan . King of The Jungle ! Friend of man and beast .

Tarzan pats Tantor and says “Hey if you guys aren’t busy later, you up for some demolition work?”

What kind of dick would spear an elephant?

Well Tantor, that’s what you get for trying to pick your nose. Anyway off to help us put down those evil arab men………

In regards to the first panel, Tarnsman gets annoyed when people refer to themselves in the third person.

It has always been good that elephants are multilingual.

Apparently, the language of the Great Apes is the Swahili of the jungle animal world. Everyone speaks it.

Good old Doctor Tarzan—speaks to the animals, you know….
