Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for January 24, 2023

The abandoned cavern of the “Biblical IND” line.

It says If you can read this GET OUT NOW!

“Kilroy was here”……

Pretty amazing… There was no writing in 5,000 BCE. There were a couple proto-alphabets developing long before 3,500 BCE, but none complex enough to call a writing system. Around 3500 BCE the Sumerians broke through from their proto-alphabet (essentially record keeping symbols) and were writing cuneiform (considered the first real writing), but this looks more hieroglyphic, which only came several centuries later.

So, assuming all the evidence is wrong, and some civilization could write 1500 years earlier than anything known to man – how would Chiram recognize it?

“And by whom?”

“By Buddha!”

“What? Did you find his signature?”

Great, someone ruining the only known 5000 BC pictograph writing with their graffiti. Tourists!

Look! It says “We have been trying to reach you about your chariot’s extended warranty”!

Obviously he Tarzan’s ancestor who dig that big pit.

Nowwaitsaminute. Buddha in Africa? Where exactly is these folks goofing around now?

Larson continues, “And over there on the wall…..a light switch!”

Let’s hope GoComics is fixing the Sunday on Monday problem.

“….Of course it may be somewhat newer writing.”

Frankly I am quite surprised that dunderkopf swede Larson can read english!

“Not only that, but it says ‘Top Secret’!”

D’Arnot: What does it say?

Larson: “Said Farmer Jones / Who’s bald on top / ‘I wish I could / Rotate the crop’ / Burma Shave.”
