Lio by Mark Tatulli for July 27, 2010

A musical ‘gator, who knew?

Is this how Lionel Hampton got his start??

Crockodile Rock?

Great music.

Lio has such a knack for making friends! And music also! –Who knew?

‘Dile-ophone,

Hope he hasn’t got fish breath.

It makes me wonder how he ever befriends all these animals and gets them to do all these things for him. He like twisted version of Dr. Dolittle

Hacerle cosquillas a los marfiles. Tickle those ivories.

Cool to tickle those ivories as long as he doesn’t tickle his tongue.

This was the way Mickey Mouse got his start!!

Always knew Lio had good Vibes.

lio should try out for America’s got talent

Calypso!

Is Lio old enough to run for President?

Now that’s ticklin’ the ivories.

Here’s a repeat from yesterday…

Does anyone remember Gary Larson’s takes on Godzilla?

The Big Guy faces a very tall sign that says, “YOU MUST BE AS TALL AS THIS SIGN TO ATTACK THE CITY” (that one is my favorite THE FAR SIDE of all time).

The Big Guy drives a car with a license plate that says “I 8 NY”.

I know the instrumentation is all wrong, but the first tune that popped into my head when I saw this was “Holiday for Strings,” specifically this version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ar_v-SIeh8w

♪♫ Oh the croc has.. pretty teeth dear, And he shows them.. pearly white ♪♫

Johanan Rakkav, yes, I remember them well. It’s time for another ‘Farside’ desk calendar…

Lio should be in the marching band… self-propelled vibes!

How about Spike Jones’ “Cocktails for Two?”

And let’s not forget that Bill Haley and the Comets classic, “See You Later, Alligator.”

Go Lio!
