Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling A line of explorers slashes its way through a dense African jungle... As they come to a small clearing, the leader, Professor Tibbins, suddenly stops. Professor Tibbins: Good lord... Coleman: What is it, Professor? Professor Tibbins: Look closely at that troop of apes feeding. Professor Tibbins: One of them appears to be a half-naked feral...MAN! Coleman: Y-you're right! Coleman: Professor, could it be...that he was ORPHANED as a baby in this fierce and brutal land -- and RAISED by these apes as THEIR OWN? Professor Tibbins: Perhaps, Coleman. But observe how he clings to the back of that ape. I must get a closer look! Follow me around this tree! Professor Tibbins: As I thought! Look in this magnifying glass! Coleman: Next to him, on the ape's hide: BUGS! Professor Tibbins: Precisely! This man was raised since a babe NOT by apes...but by APE-LICE! ZAN-TARR King of the Ape Lice NEXT to CIVILIZE the PARASITIC HEART!
