Need help with a comic strip template

Found this today 19 dollars 250mm x 100mm template of a comic strip. Question is anyone recognize the strip tough to Google it have tried names etc to no avail. Also what do you reckon the age is when did they stop printing like this look forward to anyone opinions chris

 

Looks like a tarzan strip but can't be sure.

 

Waiting on the bank stood what kind of warriors? Can't quite read it. 'savage(?)___' I'm rooting for the lion.

 

Here is a reference to a sold original art comic piece "Simba the Lion" looks like it may be a match. I see Simba mentioned in the plates in question a couple of times. https://comics.ha.com/itm/original-...lion-simba-stalk-total-6-items-/a/822-45559.s


Seems to be by Ed Hunt?

 

Barotze is a strong clue. Hope the link takes you to what I am seeing.

From the description of the book Burnham: King of Scouts:

Frederick Russell Burnham (1861-1947), an American from California, taught scouting to Robert Baden-Powell, inspiring B-P to eventually found the Boy Scouts. Burnham went to Africa in 1893 to scout for Cecil Rhodes on the Cape-to-Cairo Railway. He was a scout in the Matabele War when that engine of death - the Maxim gun - was introduced. Burnham gained fame when he survived the British equivalent of Custer's Last Stand.

 

The Simba I found above seems to have been a long running story included in the "Jungle" comic. https://www.google.com/search?q=ed+...0ovYAhUEKyYKHciJDP0Q_AUICigB&biw=1680&bih=917

 

Starting to suspect this was something printed for the Boy Scouts to tell them the story of how the organization was founded.

 

A snippet from aforementioned book:



If the story about Fred & the Barotze warriors being told in comic book form is not based on this, pretty big coincidence.

 

I wonder if the Simba comic strip wove factual events in the story? "Simba" and the lion references really jumped out at me because I vaguely remembered Simba in those comics from years ago although they were not my first choice when I had 10 cents burning a hole in my pocket for a comic.

 

You guys are insane and exploring all you'e given me
bottom right hand corner has "to be continued" so did comics have that or newsapers

 

Im With you looks very similar maybe was placed in a newspaper re previous post

 

It has always been my understanding that 'simba' is simply the word for lion in Swahili. They are using it in the comic to warn that a lion is coming, not naming a particular lion.

Another snippet. Burnham is back in the US. His audience includes Teddy Roosevelt:

 

Looks as though he & the author H. Ryder Haggard were acquainted. Burnham's entire life reads like one of Haggard's adventure stories.

 

Ok found a site re the jungle comics they only have 4 squares wide not 6 so in conclusion we have determined possibly that this was the story of Fred as stated earlier on the founding of the boy scouts and possibly a newspaper strip given the amount of squares size of block and the ' to be continued.'
Pretty good I reckon

 

I wonder since this is the founding father of the Boy Scouts if this might have been put in comic form for the Boy Scouts at one time?

 

Baden-Powell founded the Boy Scouts but Burnham was a big influence on him. See post #8 of this thread.

 

Possibly, it also opens up more options for collectors maybe boy scouts (thats if anyone collects anything for boy scouts) and comics.

 

If??!!!! You only have to check eBay.
