Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for November 05, 2019

I instinctively suspect this is a convenient plot twist. Tarz should have been dead ages ago.

I didn’t realize stone stalactites were as easy to dislodge as icicles…

Must be out of ammo, or brains…

Loosening a stalactite is always much more accurate and effective than one of those pesky pistols.

After he was bitten by that spider while a teenager he gained this new instinct, “spideysense” for survival. Or wait, maybe that was another guy.

Oblivious to the persistent “tink … tink … tink … tink” of Brister’s efforts to chip through millennia of deposited limestone, Tarzan was instinctively alerted to the minute “whoosh” of the stone spear’s downward rush and elected to evince his displeasure at the attempted homicide by performing an American dance of the 1950s and 60s: The Twist.

And it looks like Tarzan is even laughing as he makes the twist.

Obviously the bad guys removed the sign. “Danger. Falling Stalactites” Tarzan’s keen instincts warned him of the falling missile in the proverbial nick of time.

Even the chasm is yawning.

“…was instinctively warned…” This is why you shouldn’t use the passive tense, especially in an action setting. Who warned Tarzan “instinctively”? Should be “…Tarzan’s instincts warned him…” This is why novelists are taught to avoid using the passive tense. I hope the importance of this will be seen by all, and many “Likes” will be given to me.

Reading the Tarzan strip plus the comments is like watching https://mst3k.com/about-the-show

I hate it when people do that.
