Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for April 24, 2020

Numa must be a rogue. He’s clearly a male, but without a pride, he must do his own hunting without the females. Wouldn’t a pungent odor while stalking go against Darwin?

Male Lions tend to have a very strong scent if you happen to be downwind of them, but I would call it more acrid, than pungent,

Will Tarzan get the credits as the director of this documentary?

Down goes Pacco.

I bet this clip won’t be shown on a kids television show.

Isn’t it the female members of the pack that do the majority of the hunting?

Another poor hungry lion for Tarzan to slaughter? Numa needs to eat just like everything else and since the bars and restaurants are closed down what other choice does he have? A Pacco taco sounds filling!

I see the reels on the movie camera. This is definitely an old comic.

No more Numa.

The lion said I hope some hoodlum doesn’t knife me while I’m trying to eat

Hey Pacco, get in my belly!

Numa: “Pacco, have you considered the advantages of accidental death and dismemberment insurance?”

A highlight of our Africa trip was watching a quartet of young lionesses (about 2 y.o., still with spots on their bellies) stalking a zebra herd. Until one of the girls broke cover and the zebras bolted. If looks could kill, the quartet would be a trio.
