“Who are these people, and why are they talking about us?”
“It’s that author, Robin Maxwell,
the illustrator Joe Jusko,
Jim Sullos - president of the Edgar Rice Burroughs estate,
another brilliant Tarzan artist, Thomas Yeates, and
Scott Tracy Griffin, who’s written the
Tarzan: The Centennial Celebration coffee table book.
They’re all walking encyclopedias about us.”
“Go figure.”
.

“`The Naked Truth About Tarzan and Jane” - that’s the name of the panel?!”
“Why so shocked? We never wear clothes.”
.

“I don’t like the looks of this. Who are those two?”
“Enid Markey and Elmo Lincoln.
They were the first onscreen Tarzan and Jane...a silent film in 1918.”
“I don’t think so. Look at his hair. Look at her dress.”
“Her mother made that dress.”
“Next slide, please!” Now!”

“That’s better. Hey look, babe, you haven’t got on any underwear.”
“After the Hollywood censors got a look at this costume
in the first two Weissmuller-O’Sullivan movies, they had a fit.”
“They weren’t too happy about the nude underwater ballet in
'Tarzan and His Mate' either. Pretty risque for 1934.”
“Too true. But didn’t we have fun?”
.

“Whoa! Okay, okay...Jane, I did not have sex with that woman.”
.

“Or her?”
“La of Opar? Hell no. She’s trying to kill me!”
.

“Look, right there. See the tears?
I just told her I only had eyes for you.”
.

“I recognize this gal.
In ERB’s novel Tarzan and the Lion Man a mad scientist steals Henry VIII’s genes
and implants them in a family of apes.
I think that’s Anne Boleyn in the vines....I know, I know, it sounds crazy.
You’ll have to take it up with Ed.”
.

“Oh look here, darling! Our favorite vacation in Pellucidar.
Thomas Yeates really captures the mood, doesn’t he?”
.

.

“I prefered that week in Pal-U-Don.
We were much more relexed.
Remember? They let us bring Tantor.”
.

“I like this one of you. You look like you could rip the head off a Mangani bull.”
.

“And here you are, actually doing it!”
“Love the ripped blouse. Joe Jusko’s the king of pointy bras.”
.

“This is one of my favorites of us and Sheeta. Are you ripped!”
“Can we go back down the to the Exhibit Hall?
I think I saw the blonde Targaryen princess from `Game of Thrones’
......or we could just get a pretzel dog.”
