Okay, someone who knows more about geography help me out here…
Where, exactly, does the Congo abut the desert? Seems to me you’d have to cover a lot of ground to find a spot in Africa where “the sands wash against the jungle”.

Apperantly before Henry Morton Stanley everyone thought the Congo was a desert. But really none of the 2 countries (The Republic of Congo and Democratic Republic of Congo aka Zaire) have deserts. They're both tropical.

Man, I barely trust people TODAY to portray Africa correctly. Sure as hell don't expect them to in the 1940s. It doesn't make the portrayals any better, yeah, but still.

“Where, exactly, does the Congo abut the desert?”
The same place where it's populated by stereotypical Arabian bandits of course. Ya learn something new everyday.

His horsey is about to fall against those two giant heads.
And look how schmitten kitten Ali Hasan looks in the last panel. Finally the great white hunter will be his to wed!

Exactly how high do that woman's breasts sit?

Jo-Jo should never have left his home in Tuscon, AZ, for that California grass. It's making him hallucinate.

As high as they need to to naughtily tempt the reader with promises of bare-breasted goodness.

“Jo-Jo was reluctant to leave his jungle for the burning sands,
but duty compelled and he strode blindly into a melee of torture and murder… to outwit “THE CUTTHROAT CARAVAN!”
Get back, Jo-Jo!”I'm quite glad they cut that verse in the end.

Assuming that we're including Zaire (OK, cheating …), it's around Moimba, Virei, and Tambor, near Angola and the sea.

The whole coastal region was long subject to raids by Arab slavers, but this had (obviously) stopped by the 1940s.

Get back to where you once belonged!

Awwww, Jo-Jo is such a sweety. He's going to offer that guy and his girlfriend a shishkebob.

And yes, I think its funnier to assume the “Jo-Jo” hero of the title is the crazy screaming arabian running around the desert with 2 bloody heads on his sword.
