Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for March 27, 2024

“Toom is doomed in this room.”

About time Tarzan faced the consequences of killing everyone’s pets.

Oil sort you out right quick, and all before breakfast too…..

Seriously? Setting fire to the rope that holds Tarzan? You wouldn’t want to do that. But it will be Toomsday soon for you anyway.

Tarzy’s gonna have to do some fast talking to get out of this one.

That is what you theenks you old fool. Mighty ape man with his mighty monkey trained teeths will bites away your little net to smithereens and then proceeds to smacks your sorry donkey all over the jungle.

That’s not a sinuous coil!

You’re outgunned old man .

Where did the bucket of whatever it is come from? It wasn’t in the first panel.

OOGA OOGA.

Time for his invisible knife to make an appearance. This gives Toom a heart attack as Tarzan cuts free of the net.

“You’ve avoided my attempt to kill you, for that, you die!”

Toom seems to be the rare villain with a Plan B.

Just give him “Precious”.

What about an elephant? Surely an elephant can make it down the stairs.

Monumental architecture. Bronze Age I. There are some impressive stone constructions from the Chalcolithic era, but not like these finely worked ashlars.

Surely there’s an endangered animal somewhere in the room that Tarzan can kill to save himself?

“Lingering?” said Tarzan, “Good enough.”

Bearing a grudge. Tisk tisk.

WHAT! No giant hungry python? Only this butt-ugly cousin of Gollum of The Hobbit fame with a much nastier disposition.

‘oh goodie’, says T,’ boiling oil; a bath and skin softener all in one’!
