AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Tarzy-boy, a bumbling, loincloth-wetting prepubescent is chased out of his jungle home by a foul-smelling monster yobbo with twenty-three beer guts, Arch-eee-PONG!

'Landing in the South Pole, Tarzy befriends Santa who helps him reclaim his birthplace and replace his title ‘Assistant Moniter of the Kiddies Pool’ with Mighty Lord of the Jungle.'
