Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for December 07, 2024

Greed is the “father” of destruction.

Now would be a great time for Tarzan to step aside, and let things reach their logical conclusion.

Selling them the elixir would be, in the words of Claude Maximilian Overton Transpire Dibbler, “Cutting my own throat”. In this case, they will do it for you.

Claude Maximilian Overton Transpire Dibbler is of course “Cut me own throat” Dibbler from Terry Pratchett’s “Disk World”. (Don’t try the sausage inna bun!).

The worlds of greed and avarice are about to collide .

“Old Oak” is about to meet “Old Fart”?

Tarzan is sizing things up, 20 to 2, just the way he likes it.

And so, once more, Hard Luck Harrigan’s luck will turn hard again. Here comes trouble………….

‘Gents’ is perhaps a bit charitable…Any of the women in that village would probably say “That’s no gentleman…that’s my rapist.”

The old prospector is sizing up his prospects.
