Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for January 18, 2025

“Safe passage” is not over rated.

This one was kinda refreshing as there was no getting captured and escaping again and again and again. Only once here and that’s it!

So … end of story?

Now Tarzan, go home to Jane for a while and take some time off from rescuing hapless people at your own peril.

Harrigan: “What business do you have in Nairobi?”

Tarzan: “At the mall. Jane has just texted me a shopping list. Hmm… did you keep some gold coins?”

I doubt that you learn many new and valuable lessons at 80. It’s just the SOS.

Not only did Tarzan throw out all the gold but tossed the coconuts out as well.

So, the Bandits will go on rampaging through Tarzan’s Africa?

That lesson was, “Never try to get an ape-man drunk”.

Wasn’t it Tarzan’s idea to head north in the first place? He got beaten up pretty good for his trouble.

What! All of this nonsense and crotchity old cowboy Hardluck Harrigan leaves without any gold? Maybe he’ll have some fun in Nairobi where Jane likes to run up Tarzan’s credit cards! See y’all at the Nairobi Shopping Mall……..

‘Bitter but valuable lesson’? Getting involved with Tarzan is dangerous? Don’t wipe your face with pizza?

I thought Tarzan did his business in the woods.

If Tarzan has business in Nairobi, it’s monkey business.

Having business in Nairobi beats having an appointment in Samarra..

Harrigan: “Business in Nairobi? Kenya shed some more light about that?”

And no lions were harmed in the filming of this arc!
