Lio by Mark Tatulli for February 10, 2016

Intergalactic litter bugs, shame on you!

We lived about 30 miles from a fast food intersection. You could tell to the day when the White Castle opened. The trash changed from McDonald’s to theirs.

Now you’re The Crying Indian, Lio.

McMartians

People/Aliens and their trash!! They probably smoke too. Smokers seam to be the worst offenders.

In the next panel, Lio starts to mutate

When I’m on a walk between towns, I can tell what fast-food choices are up ahead by the litter by the side of the road. Sometimes litter provides a service.

They won’t be littering for long. Leo has a nuclear tipped missile lying around somewhere.

You think that with all the tv we sent into space, they would have gotten the Crying Indian ad

Sorry Lio.

people are the same the world over. even aliens. big sigh

I doubt many earthlings have a clue how much space debris we have circling the planet…

Yeah, I could see that happening. Mr. Tatulli, have you ever read Russian authors Arkady and Boris Strugatsky’s SF novel, Roadside Picnic?

People throw their trash out their windows, the rats feast along the side of the highways, and then the hawks and owls get hit by cars. We lost a magnificent red-tailed hawk that way recently.

We have enough humans littering the Earth to have aliens do it too.

Old Terra was pretty much of a garbage dump already, before the aliens came!
