Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for March 01, 2024

“Trunk” show.

Especially when they find the cache of tusks in one of the huts. That will dial up rogue elephant to 10. And with that I’m off for breakfast………

Hands over horrible Hassan to tantors, Tarzan. They’ll takes care of him.

This fight is going back and forth faster than a basketball game.

I am sure that was Chuck’s fist coming out of dude’s head dress.

Does anyone disapprove with this “deus ex machina” (in this case, Tantor ex machina)? Wouldn’t the story be better if Tarzan and the natives overcame Hassan and co. without any relief force? They could, if they fired instead of using the rifles as clubs.

“Tantor will not stop until the village is destroyed.” Tantor said, oh yeah, not without overtime, bub, all these electrical appliances are hurting my toes.

Rub some knots on his head too .

Just as long as Tantor doesn’t destroy the hut that Tarzan and Jean are in.

“Tantor will not stop,” Tarzan predicted, “until the village of Hassan the Slaver is destroyed.” Tarzan knows that Tantor is a big fan of Robert McNamara, and that Tantor always operates on the principle that to save a village, you must destroy it.

Once again, Tarzan is saved by the elephantry charging in in the nick of time.

Hopefully murderous drunk Trig Nelson, you know the one with the glued-on sailor’s hat, has been flattened to a bloody Tantor pancake by now. Tantor revenge for killing their breathern for ivory tusks over many years, time to burn the trampled village Tarzan. UMGOWA!

There goes the neighborhood …. LITERALLY.

Thus speaks the Architectural Committee.

Tarzan of the Apes, urban renewal advocate.
