                                                SIMBA, THE AMAZON


PAGE ONE:

Caption: A jungle queen lives in the darkest jungle at Borneo's heart.  The natives of the area worship her as a goddess and call her "Simba."  No one knows where she came from, but she lives in a treetop cottage with a Chinese girl named Loto.

Frame One:

Caption: One morning . . .

Simba: AHOOO!

Frame Two:

Loto: That's Simba's call!  I thought she was still asleep.

Frame Three:

Loto:  Where is she?

Frame Four:

Simba: Here I come!

Frame Five:

Simba: Good morning, Loto!

Loto: The jungle sun's kind to you.

Frame Six:

Simba: What've you made for breakfast?

Loto: Fried python.

Frame Seven:

Simba:  Wonderful!  I'm starving!

Frame Eight:

Simba: Have you seen Tao?

Loto:  No, he's late for breakfast.  Is he over . . .

Frame Nine:

Caption:  Tao is an enormous orangutan who Simba freed from a trap and who has become the girl's constant companion.  He can understand and obey her commands [Translator's note: In Part Two of this four-part story arc, Tao is clearly machine-gunned down, yet in Part Three he gets up again as if he has just been sleeping.  Another classic error of the times!].

Frame Ten:

Tao:  GUEE...

Simba: You're always so friendly, Tao.  What is it you're carrying?

Frame Eleven:

Simba: Another gift?  Pay attention, Tao: On Sumday, some Kirvalan natives disappeared from their village.

Simba:  Show me how to use it!

Loto:  Like this.

Frame Four:

Record: Love ya, love ya, honey . . .

Frame Five:

Simba:  Wonderful . . . but I'll never leave my jungle!  Why has poor Tao gone ape?

Loto:  The answer's simple, darling.  He's grateful to you for freeing him from that trap and allowing him to live freely in the jungle.
