Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs for May 09, 2023

“Animal antics.”

So much for your scent sense Tarzan. That not look like leopard at all. Look no spots but strips.

…but he just jumped on two other animals’ backs and used his knife…

Oh right, it’s been a few days since Tarzan killed an animal.

If Tarzan doesn’t stop slaughtering the jungle beasts soon, PETA is going to show up and stage a protest! The beastly body count in this arc is getting higher.

Chiram said, do these pants make me look fat?

The editor changed the original line of “I smell sheeta” to “the scent of sheeta is strong”.

Tarzan’s happy as he gets to kill one more cat before leaving this place.

One more savage beast to dispatch .

Time to end this story arc.

The people of Hesi-Her need to keep better track of their pets. They got monkeys and cats running around everywhere! And you know dang well Tarzan ain’t gonna call animal control. He’ll just “take care” of the problem, and you’ll never find out what happened to Biffy.

Shee-it! Sheeta!

Chiram is going to have to do something about that goiter, judging from panel 3.

If people stop trying to kill or harm Tarzan we have no story. These people are going overboard.

This is kinda silly chris, ERB made it a point that Tarzan talked the animals out of fighting as much as he fought them to the death. Not just the GREAT APES but Lions, Leopards, Panthers, Elephants and more. You are right. The story makes him out to be a killer, not a savior.

A leopard named Scott. GREAT!!

Chiram pulls his gun and prepares to use it as a club.

Guess it’s time for another T-Zan kitty-cat kill….
