He’s more at risk from his archery technique than the man in the tiger onesie.

Me Tar-Sham, me no skip leg day at gym.

Oh c’mon Paul. I don’t expect anyone to read my mouseovers. But …
I get first dibs at the low-hanging fruit.

@MakkaPakka – he’s really not grasping the primary strength of archery — namely, you can stab things that are way over there — at all.

“Jan of the Jungle” is just about as good a title as “Otis of the Jungle”.
But maybe I’m biased — “Jan” is the Swedish name equivalent of “Doug”.

Me Jan, you Ramona.
Otis Adelbert Kline begat Jan of the Jungle. Jan of the Jungle begat Call of the Savage. Call of the Savage begat Noah Beery Jr as a Tar-sham.

Stephen Holland skipped out on taking any fashion drawing classes at Unknown Artist Institute.

Oddly enough, this cover could almost be from The Hawkeye Initiative, given Tar-sham’s pose.

Somewhere, Jana of the Jungle ponders copyright…

Tar-Sham gets drunk on fermented banana juice and attacks a tapestry.

The woman seems unharmed – perhaps this is an example of the rare bodice-ripper monster.

The beast seems to be eyeless. If it hunts by scent, Tar-Sham’s explosive flatulence may be a problem.

Why are we assuming that ‘Jan’ is the lady? It could be a Dutch Tar-sham. Or Flemish: the painting’s humans show the influence of Rubens just as the jungle and tiger gesture towards Rousseau.

Tar-Sham (or Tar-Jan) crosses the jungle swinging from tree to tree, mostly because with those teeny feet, he tends to fall down a lot when he walks.

“Ok class, now remember the formula—”In the X tradition” means, “derivative of and not nearly as good as” X. This formula can come in handy so memorize it.

My first thought (after AAGGHH, but that’s all of the covers) was “Boy, that really ticks all the boxes, doesn’t it?” And then I saw the mouseover and list of tags. Yep.
Tar-sham’s got him some birthin’ hips. Surprised he hasn’t fallen over, what with those tiny feet. No way can he stand steady enough with that bow, which as @Lillie said, he’s seemingly not real good at anyway.
@fred: Excellent link! Though I’m boggling at Jim Rockford’s dad being Tar-sham in his youth. Sounds like it’s maybe worth watching, and it must have been quite the excitement in 1935.
@Tor: That scenario actually makes sense of this.
@Bruce: I dunno, Faux-Jane (Mona?) has gone cross-eyed from it all, so she’s not unscathed.
@anon: You’ve certainly got the orthodontic part covered.
@BC: excellently decoded.

Some forgotten paperback pulp artist was way too influenced by the murals of Diego Rivera.

@Tracy: so the blind,[1] devouring monster is Capitalism, the woman is the oppressed peasantry, and the RED headed hero is the mobilized proletariat?
[1] Can’t see any actual eyes, and the sort of slit on top of the head, given the artist’s bad anatomy, might be the other ear.

@Bruce: maybe they don’t need a dentist there, just an optician, what with a blind (or at best one-eyed) critter and a cross-eyed damsel. Or maybe they need both, but of course voracious capitalism means that the peasantry and proletariat cannot afford either.
I’ve just been trying to get the ear, face, and jaws to fit in the same plane of distance/on the same skull. Can’t do it. 555-orthodontic indeed.
@Tracy, @B.Chiclitz: “This cover is in the tradition of Diego Rivera.”
Hey, the formula works.
