Lio by Mark Tatulli for November 17, 2013

There are other kids like Lio out there?

Just having a bed-time snack.

Okay, you know where your cephalopod is. Does WKTN have any follow-up questions? No? Okay; in that case I guess it’s all right for Ishy to ingest two little neighborhood kids….

My cephalopod is sautéed and served over squid ink pasta…accompanied by a medium Chianti…mmmmm.Cannoli for desert!

I’m sure he’s just singing…

How did these kids get in Lio’s house?

Too bad he’s not eating the bully.

Oh good! He’s safe and sound.

I left the front door open a crack and my cephalopod squeezed himself through. I haven’t seen him since.

I had to leave my cephalopods behind when I retired. It didn’t change my “Weird Kid” status though!

Just what kind of cephalopod is Ishy, anyhow? He’s certainly not a squid, his mouth is in the wrong place.
