Comics on Parade #8 (8)
In "The Return of Tarzan," Bernard Dibble delivers a delightfully absurd tale of mistaken intentions and aquatic antics, as a man’s dramatic exit from the house takes a surreal turn when he’s found wading through a pond—apparently attempting a daring underwater banana-eating act. With whimsical humor and expressive art from Dibble himself, this 1938 issue offers a quirky slice of early comic strip charm, complete with a playful cover by Al Capp.
