July 25, 2025 and ninety-one years ago on this day 1934, in Episode # 32, “Together Again,” of the radio serial, “Tarzan and the Diamond of Asher,” to an eagerly awaiting audience.
You can here the episode, actually all the episodes at: https://www.erbzine.com/mag31/3140.html
There has been much discussion about the radio series, “Tarzan and the Diamond of Asher,” and its novelization, “Tarzan and the Forbidden City.” Which came first? Not taking sides here and not looking for an online debate about it. Read the novel and listen to the radio show. No reason to get bogged down. Enjoy them both.
The 100 word drabble for today, “Not Another Darned Dinosaur,” is excerpted and edited from the amazing Bill Hillman’s summary of the episode, located at the site above.
“Tarzan leads his party through the jungle to where the vegetation ceases. Tarzan discovers a road over the desolate terrain worn smooth by the tread of millions of feet. The road plunges into a deep rocky gorge and Tarzan and Thome ascend a narrow path to a smooth ledge above the road where they discover a cave and some of Helen Gregory’s clothing. As they are about to enter the cavern to look for the missing girl, a great scaly four-legged creature of prehistoric origin rushes out to meet them. Snorting and roaring its challenge, it advances straight toward Tarzan.”
