June 16, 2025 and fifty-seven years ago on this day in 1968, Russ Manning’s first Tarzan Sunday comic story arc, “Tarzan Returns to the Land of the Ant Men, concluded after a run of 23 weeks. The entire story arc may be viewed at: https://www.erbzine.com/mag17/1760.html
Without saying too much about the story, a woman named Marlene becomes completely infatuated with Tarzan. Marlene spent some time in Ant Man size and upon returning to normal size her clothes didn’t fit. Tarzan made her a quasi- bikini from ostrich feathers, a costume she wore for the remainder of the story. Another interesting observation in the story is the problem with regaining full size if you’re somewhere that’s going to be a problem. Think Alice In Wonderland when Alice suddenly grew bigger than a house.
As always, beautiful art and an excellent story. Check it out.
The 100-word drabble for today is “When I’m Six Foot Four,” and it was inspired by “Tarzan Returns to the Land of the Ant Men.” Credit goes to the Beatles for “When I’m Sixty-Four.”
When I get taller, regaining my height
Only hours from now,
Will you go swinging with me on a vine,
dance in the jungle, forever be mine.
If I'd been hiding in a tree,
Would you think me a bore?
I hope and I plead that I’ll be what you need
When I'm six foot four?
You'll be taller too.
Just say the word,
I could stay with you.
Give me your answer, show me sign,
Now that we’re bigger, will you still be mine.
I hope and I plead that I’ll be what you need
When I'm six-foot four?
