Bold Fashion Choices--That Belt....!!

I have thoughts on this:

A) Man, that ape is totally pulling off that red belt!

B) But...isn't that kind of a small "gorilla-slave"? I mean, come on, now...

C) OK, is the women in blue "The Tigress of T'Wanbi"? How about that woman in the background, wearing the leopard print bikini and posing provocatively for no reason whatsoever?

D) Man, those gorillas sure drool a lot.

E) That belt, man...that belt!!

F) Ki-Gor was, of course, a Tarzan knock-off. He was cover boy and lead story star in some 59 issues of Jungle Stories, from 1938 to 1954. Despite the lengthy run, it doesn't seem as if Ki-Gor ever made the leap to other media--no comics or movies or radio shows. Of course, why pay for the rights to Ki-Gor when Tarzan rights probably weren't that expensive...or better yet, just come up with your own Tarzan knock-off!!

G) A "Tigress"...in Africa?

H) Man, if Grodd had a belt like that, he would have beaten the Flash decades ago!!

From Jungle Stories Winter 1941. Sadly, the cover artist who created that belt is not known.

It is always the accessories that really help pull off a look.

It's a cursed belt of leg-shortening - page 133 of the Dungeon Master's Guide. It looks great, but it totally screws you over.

Re (G) -- Perhaps she escaped from the zoo?
