Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for August 31, 2024

Panel 3 should read: Two “dumb” figures.

Bring your stalker, to the slaughter……. With apologies to Iron Maiden…..

So… The little guy is going to slip down and stick a knife in a guy who has already killed two lions, won his single combat in the arena, and survived the melee round?

Apparently the smarter assassins turned down the job.

So they finally decide to give up the old many lions trick eh.

Well Volthar/Valthor is in Tarzan’s bed and they are going to try to stab Tarzan in the dark. Wonder how this is gonna work out?

And little bear entered the room and someone was sleeping in his bed.

You poor fools. Little dude, Tarzan can smell you coming. And he thinks you smell like dirty deeds done dirt cheap. He’s gonna show you his dad’s famous magic knife. But only the hilt. The blade will be buried in your gizzard. Or, maybe he’ll just toss you back out the window. After all, defenestration was the Ape-Man’s vocabulary word for the day, and he is a tactile learner. ;-)

Tarzan: “That’s not a knife. That’s a knife!”

He lowered him gently but the rope still broke. The little one fell and broke his neck. The big one was off balance and toppled out breaking his back. The snores grew louder in the darkened room.

Surprise boy’s party about to begin, it’s two assassins vs. Tarzanacus, Volthar, and Gemnon…..guess who dies, and just where is E-rotten?

At least the larger man was gentle.

Nice to have known you, Volthar.

He can go the rest of the distance to the ground below sans rope.
