Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for August 15, 2020

While you are at it, Tawi: “Kill Kulp! Your Queen commands it! He stole the sacred ruby!”

“Stop! Weera commanded me to join you too. (Let’s get outta here!) ".

Finally a queen that gets obeyed.

Why is Jim not looking at Kulp in the last panel? Everybody else is.

Kulp: [thinking] Hmm. I could let them leave, then inform the pygmies that they killed Weera and say they also stole the ruby, and then get away when the pygmies go after the others.[thinks some more] Nah.

The pygmies were unsure if they should obey the queen because she gave them one very tall order.

Yipes! It Mr. Stripes. Ulp! It’s Mr. Kulp. Personally, I had forgotten about him also.

“Make way!” And watch where you point that thing.

As the sole possessor of chesticles in the village, Tawi gazed at Kulp over her shoulder and murmured a MaeWesticism that was lost on everyone but BiggumJim, who was rooted to the spot with sudden desire for the feathered femme fatale.

Kulp, with his clean white pants and tight tshirt, sporty yachting cap, is ready for some action.

“Make way! My modest but firm bewbs command.”

Sailor-striped Kulp shows up just in time with the Chinese counterfeit blood ruby to have Tarzan split him stem to stern with his magic here-gone-back again knife. Slashing Kulp Matters!

BOO!….HISS…..Kill the swine!

Kulp said, this is going to be so embarrassing if nobody stops.
