TARZANA
There will be a similar panel at the Tarzana Dum-Dum
Featuring Robin Maxwell, Scott Tracy Griffin, and Andy Briggs

Guest of Honour, Jane Goodall will speak at the Saturday Evening Banquet.

In October 1912, readers of The All-Story magazine were enthralled by Edgar Rice Burroughs' tale of John Clayton, an orphaned English lord given a simian upbringing in the African jungle who went on to reclaim his birth-right in civilisation while maintaining one foot in the savage land he had conquered. The character went on to appear in more than two dozen sequels by Burroughs as well as many adaptations.

This book traces Tarzan's history in prose, film, comic strips, comic books, radio, stage, television, computer games and merchandise, charting the rise of one of the most popular and iconic characters in fiction. Included is the last ever interview with Danton Burroughs (grandson of Edgar Rice Burroughs), plus exclusive comments from Michael Moorcock, Hugh Hudson, R A Salvatore and the oldest surviving screen Tarzan, Denny Miller, amongst many more. The book also examines the massive changes in public attitudes towards Africa, race, hereditary peers and wildlife conservation that may finally deal Tarzan the fatal blow that any number of sinister safaris and high priests of mysterious lost cities failed to. A comprehensive exploration of one of the most famous icons of the last hundred years.

Directing his work ideally at a young adult audience, he briefly but effectively covers the broad sweep of cartooning, not just the latest trend. The book includes some history, the fundamentals of the craft, and discussions of various modes, including political panels, strips, greeting cards, comic books, and animation. Bohl ends with an excellent appendix of related schools, books, videos, biographies, and periodicals. Recommended for public libraries.

From ERB's Personal Journal ~ May 13, 1940
We have a comfortable house smack on the ocean, with a nice white, sandy beach and good swimming. 

We can wade out for a hundred yards or more and then not be in deep water. No coral nor seaweed. 

There is good surf fishing here, but I haven't a pole nor hook. Duke Kahanamoku's brother told me that all I needed was a bamboo pole, a piece of string, a hook, and some fresh shrimp to catch more fish than we could use. . . .
