The Secret Origin of Tarzan’s Trunks.

So I’m flipping though a 1971 hardcover of Burne Hogarth’s Tarzan of the Apes, which details the beginnings of the Ape Man…it is, being Hogarth, beautifully and lavishly illustrated. And since Tarzan has been raised by apes, he of course spends the majority of the book runnin’ around in the altogether:


Eventually he encounters Kulonga, the tribesman who slew Tarzan’s adoptive ape mother Kala, and kills him:


Deciding against eating his fallen foe (no, really), Tarzan brings the body down from treetops where their final battle was held:


And then the very next time we see Tarzan…he’s wearing Kulonga’s short pants!
