Comics that need to be published again, pt 4
Zegra the Jungle Empress. Fox Features Syndicate.I've always wondered about jungle girl comics. How come you never see a hideously scarred jungle girl? With all the half-naked bushwacking they do, you'd think they'd just be covered head to toe with scars.
Take Zegra, for instance. Here she is getting ambushed by a tiger whilst straddling a tree limb in knee length grass. Unless she's extremely lucky, the chances of her emerging from a tiger fight completely unscathed seem remote, particularly since it looks like she bought that knife at a gas station. Since jungle girls battle tigers, lions, jaguars, and gorillas on a daily basis, it seems like Zegra would be a mass of scar tissue and weeping wounds.
What's your secret, Zegra? Aloe?

she used to have a huge c-section scar but they air brushed it out.

Jungle Girls are notorious for their use of various lotions and topical creams. In fact, I believe Bath and Body Works has a whole section for jungle girls.

Forget the scars, the parasites ALONE must be disgusting! Not to mention, her feet must be callused beyond belief.

Dave, didn't you resurrect Haunted Tank by posting about the old series on DLB?
You hold the power of the gods, my friend.
