Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for July 06, 2023

Tarzan has the “cunning” edge in his favor.

Well you started it. All we wanted was some breakfast…..

“We have devised a long, slow method of killing you – since killing you now and quickly doesn’t provide you with an opportunity to escape.”

Death by Boola Boola again.

Lucky we all understand Bantu or we wouldn’t know what’s going on.And as for killing them, like they weren’t going to kill them anyway. They always try to kill them in the Tarzan strips. Nobody uses slave labor anymore.

And yet again, Tarzan and company are unwilling guests of the locals. I think when they get out of this they should all go home, it’s a jungle out there!

Tarzan’s fury will not be bound by rope .

Seeing that the fight wasn’t ending quickly enough, the savage leader of the savage savages deployed his penultimate tactic, shouting to his savage savages in the Bantu language, “Dog pile on Tarzan! And make sure to grunt a lot!”

You know he’ll be okay, he hasn’t been to Pellucidar yet.

Denis? Denis anyone Denis? St. Denis anyone!

…And was immediately eaten by a lion that was not slain by Tarzan’s thews… ☺

Tarzan will be sentenced to die. In 47 days, or however long it takes to escape.

I used to know a Bantu, back in Angola. Navidade was her first name. Strikingly pretty features. She’d be an old woman by now, I suspect.

Ha. Little does them maroons knows that it Tarzan’s old get captured and escapes later trick.

Well, that sounds fair.

So there’s a lot of stalking going on.

Back to the village where Betty has been violated for the umteenth time and prepped for yet another big time feast. Some weiners and sausages will now be added to the stewpot and here we have a repeat of what happened with the previous Unga-Bunga tribe! Round and round we go…….

That looks like a cigarette tied in Tarzan’s hand. Maybe it’ll burn through the ropes. I don’t think that will give him much help.
