Tarzan Knows How to Treat His Woman

Does anyone else find this illustration and its caption (He took his woman in his arms.) as hilarious as my husband and I do? We were flipping through a collection of his old books from childhood and came across it in Tarzan of the Apes.

Hope someone takes you in your arms today. Happy Valentine’s Day!

    I love old books and their illustrations — both the simply beautiful and the unintentionally amusing ones.

Hi, I’m Kate

I’m a wife, mom of five kids, writer, speaker, storyteller, bibliophile, runner, eating disorder survivor, and perfectionist in recovery. I'm the author of Getting Past Perfect: Finding Joy & Grace in the Messiness of Motherhood  and Weightless: Making Peace With Your Body.

I’ve tried a lot of things in my life – anorexia, bulimia, law school, teaching aerobics, extended breastfeeding, vegetarianism, trying to be perfect and failing miserably at it – and through it all I’ve been writing. And learning to embrace the messiness of life instead of covering it up, making excuses for it, or being ashamed of my brokenness or my home’s sticky counters.

Nowadays I’m striving every single, imperfect day to strike a balance between keeping it real and keeping it joyful.

 

“She could never be a saint, but she thought she could be a martyr if they killed her quick.”

―Flannery O'Connor
