Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for November 28, 2021

“Sinner” Sanctum.

The start of Russ Manning’s last daily story, I think. (It goes on for over six months!)

An airship to the center of the earth?

Gonna be hot down there with all of that really hot magma.

Remember all those pits that he had the natives dig?—This next one will need to be really deep.

Loads of dinosaurs down there if I recall, eat you for breakfast too…

“But how will we get to the centre of the earth in this big balloon, dad?”

“We dig a pit, son. A deep and wide pit. All the way to the centre of the earth!”

What’s this Korak, you address your father by his name? Hasn’t Tarzan taught you no manners?

Anne or an over grown turkey. Poor Korak. “But Dad, can we wait for a few more hours!”

Oh wait a minute. They have a travel ban there. Let’s just go scare some hippos.

Called it

Pellucidar? HAha. I thought that place was off limits? Verboten! Oh well, we shall see.

It will be great to see David and the gang down there in Pellucidar.

\\//_

So, the whole Korak adventure was just to kill time while Tarzan was getting ready to take the big dino back to Pellucidar.

Finally! Of course, it is a long way to go for a fried telepathic space chicken dinner. ;-)

“But Tarzan!”, Korak replied. “I’ve got a hot date with a hot chick who OWES me!!!”

It’s amazing what the black John Clayton credit card will buy. And he got a good deal on it, can sell it next year for almost what he paid for it, like an old Porsche.

This Zeppelin is filled with antihydrogen, so it’ll sink instead of float. Got that?

Korak: “Oh, yeah, this is MUCH better than hanging out with a hottie who seems to be rather interested in spending some time with me.”

Just wait until he meets the potbellied proto-chicken.

Running full-circle into Mahar infested middle Earth, maybe they’ll run into Bilbo Baggins, Frodo and Gandalf wouldn’t that be “fun”!

“Because the only way to get to the center of the Earth is to go up!”

Great! A zeppelin downer—literally! Do we inflate or deflate the gas bag to go down to Pellucidar?

At least Tarzan and son Korak should be a fairly formidable team….
