Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for May 23, 2021

I’m getting the feeling someone is echoing Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstien”. If the next encounter is with a blind man that will clinch it….

How do they know the gorilla did it? Maybe the kids are all just high on cocaine?

As we know from Tarzan’s own story, Great Apes are good with infants.

You have to do a King Kong scene don’t cha, you ape you.

Killer ape, after him! Oops, I caught him.

“Some of these boys may not recover!” Especially the ones that are dead.

Despite being barefoot, Tarzan’s heightened senses keep him from stepping on broken glass, discarded syringes, garbage, etc.

Grab the kid and head for the subway Zugor, or better yet appear in the daily strip and take “White Man” Johnson away before he’s speared by those angry natives (gotta read the dailies to know about this).

So, the suddenly “maternal” killer-ape is going to cuddle the hopelessly Cute Kid and use it as a human shield? Well, this will give T-boy a chance to think up some way to save his old friend….
