Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for December 14, 2024

“String” him along.

Why are you giving Tarzan a knife?

Hey old man. One more customer for yours wounds healing exqueesite exhilir coming right up.

Well, he chose the right trousers to wear for acting like a (Harlequin) clown.

Tarzan should be insulted, this is obviously not a job for the Royal Sabre, what’s in his hands is a little short for the scabbard

And Tarzan says “That’s not a knife—THIS is a knife”! IFYKYK

Tarzan: “Come closer, Rambo or whatever your name is… a few more steps… don’t look at the ground, look at me. Always watch your opponent.”

Tarzan is content that the bandits’ attention was at Harrigan, so no one was watching him for several minutes, setting a trap. The dust cloud Rambul made also helped him to camouflage the pit.

Well, Rambul isn’t a lion but he will do since Tarzan hasn’t killed anything of late.

With those pants he should probably be called Rambozo

Tarzan: “Oh, goody, goody, goody!” ☺

A jerk for a jerk.

What’s with the dagger? What happened to the scimitar? Then he could swish it around to show how adept he was with it before Tarzan pulled out his revolver and shot the sucker.

I think it was the pants that did him in. It’s just too hard to be cool in something like that.

In the meantime, Harrigan does not watch the brawl idly. He offers the bandits to place a bet on the winner, and all the suckers bet on Rambul, much to Harrigan’s delight.

C’mon Tarzan…..gut this stinky A-rab from throat to guts!

…. Whereupon Tarzan snatched the knife from his slippery hands.

Haven’t seen too many snarling beasts attack with a knife.

Rambul will PAY for that- very, very dearly…

Tarzan can always whip him back since it is in his hand.
