Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for March 21, 2024

No animal is too "foe"midable for Tarzan.

There had to be a queen.

Conan is a queen, now?

“I’ll kill the panther, and we’ll escape.” “We could go the other side, no panther there.” “I KILL the panther, and we escape.”

“Besides” muttered Tarzan “I could use a new loin cloth”……

If Tarzan go that way then Ooga die. Not you see how good he at killing big cat?

Me like how Kroog talk Engleesh. Me understanding good what Kroog say.

Ooga only has one moon left.

Boy, what a Debbie Downer this guy Kroog is. Time for Tarzan to get to work under the light of a full moon.

Tarzan: "Hmm, choices, who to kill first, a zoo of animals, Toom Doom, a Queen with my “charm,” or time and wait for my Red Shirts to arrive (Security from the Enterprise)"

When they arrived the palace reminded Tarzan of a “crudely constructed prison buildings of the smaller west African ports.”

Today he an Krog are lounging in a spacious cell constructed of finely worked large ashlars.

A disconnect between writing and art.

Let’s see this Amra and find out if she’s worth the bother .

“Actually, I’m finding this business of slaughtering wildlife tedious. How about we file an appeal with this Varo instead?”

The panther’s lair is too easy, anyway.

Hmm, Toom, Kroog, Moons, Ooga. ERB, are you sure it’s not “Varoo”? ☺

OK, so in Panel 1 Kroog tells Tarzan that Toom imprisoned him because he didn’t kill Tarzan. Kroog then adds that it wasn’t true (that he didn’t kill Tarzan). He is obviously talking to Tarzan, which means….Gasp, that must be the Ghost of Tarzan! (with apologies to Super-Fun-Pak-Comics from 3-19 and 3-21).

Here we go with the O’s again….TOOM, KROOG, OOGA. Where’s OOga-BOOga and MumbO-JumbO, etc?

Tarzan doesn’t want to escape. He just wants an excuse to murder a panther.
