Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for November 28, 2014

So, Mduma, the town’s butcher, does overtime as a hitman, I mean, Tarzan is going to hit him.

A million francs eh? Wonder what that is in real money?

Mduma’s in for a whole lot of hurt.

Tarzan might start to think he’s safer in the jungle with all the wild, deadly, and dangerous creatures.

@LadyKat, thought so too but 1mil Cameroon francs would have been 2mil French francs in 1948 or about $650,000 US, enough to buy a few shirts. Not that Mduma will ever see a centime of it.

Serrif’s crazed zombie Mduma is going to kill Tarzan with that banana he’s holding in the last panel? I think not! :)> GreatStorySoFarAGowa!!

I have a better Mduma; why don’t you quietly walk up behind Tarzan and knife him. Talk about telegraphing your punch.

Turns out Tarzan has a license to carry; the old bringing a knife to a gunfight saying holds true.

Very strange wording in this story line. “Go amok and kill him.”? Usually that term today means someone goes crazy and runs around causing some type of damage, but not running around with a specific plan in mind. Kind of like it though as it shows how the language has progressed.

He don’t know him very well, do he?

So that’s where Lucas go the idea for the scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark!

Mduma – don’t you even wonder if Serrif even has a million francs?“Show me the moneyagowa!”

Tarz will whack ol’ Mduma then stand on his chest and do a Carol Burnett

Why is Mouma attacking Tarzan with a banana?
