October 20, 2025 and thirty-four years ago on this day in 1991, the Gray Morrow illustrated and Don Kraar scripted Sunday Tarzan story arc, The Kalahari, began. The story arc ran for fourteen weeks.
In the story, Jane and Meriam, are on a hijacked airplane. The hijackers, led by the mercenary Van Zandt, land the plane in the Kalahari desert. The leader of the hijackers seeks revenge on Tarzan. Tarzan, D’Arnot and a troop of baboons come to the rescue.

The 100-word fictional drabble for today, “Take The Win,” was inspired by the story arc. I’ve always said that it doesn’t matter who gets the credit as long as you get what you wanted. That’s a lesson Van Zandt never learned.
Jane said, “You never should have hijacked this airplane, Van Zandt. My husband, Tarzan, knows I was on this flight. He’ll come for me.”
“I'm counting on it. I hated my brother. Tarzan killed him before I could. Now, I’ll kill Tarzan.”
“That’s possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard. You should thank my husband, not kill him.”
“No, I have to kill someone.”
“You don’t. Take the win. Let your hatred die with him.”
“Lady Greystoke, I can’t do that.”
“How sad for your mother to lose both sons. It’s silly to die because you got what you wanted.”
