Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for July 08, 2021

Or else what?

Or else they’ll have no choice but fall into one of Tarzan’s pits full of alligators while trying to cross a rickety old bridge.

Dang. How I miss the good ol’ days.

Yoo Hoo, anyone seen Tarzan? Big fella, wears leopard print shorts? Last seen a week or so ago jumping over a wall?

Okay, I’m going to go out on a limb here but think I know why newspapers started dropping the Tarzan strip around the same time this was being published.

1970s Tarzan story arcs moved slower than in years past. This was due to the pervasive use of ganja, which helped ameliorate the embarrassment associated with the equally widespread wearing of bell-bottom, corduroy jeans. The Tarzan strip was ultimately discontinued because readers forgot it was about Tarzan and began to believe it was about telepathic pterodactyls. Then they all got the munchies, and forgot how to read altogether.

The mahar mascot job is evidently better than being one of his children.

The family? They ARE hippies!

“It should only take a few hours of torture. So, you see, they’ll be fine.”

Tarzan will be back in the story. But you’re saying the Tarzan strip is being cancelled?

I’ve said this before. You gotta sneak up on the Mahar, and pour water down its nose holes.
