Around Tarzan’s home.

Boog before the big brain boost.

In a War zone (in South Sudan near the Sudan Border). Boog is correct, let him eat alone!

Really. Meet me for lunch in Nowhere, Sudan, far away from the nearest town.

And why would he expect Boog to know that without checking the computer?

Yes he would.

Is Merlin trying to remove his mask in that last panel? Or his head?

Who is Mr. Merlin resembling in real life?

Perhaps Mr.Merlin is reference to the old but long running science show, “Watch Mr. Wizard”

I watched Mr Wizard all the way back in the 50s. He never had so much hair.

Carl Sagan?

Oddly, I am not seeing a strip here.

Let me see, Boog is the son of Rover who was adopted by Slim and Clovia making him Skeezix’s adopted great grand son.
