Lio by Mark Tatulli for January 31, 2011

Monster, you don’t know who you’re dealing with…

Somebody help…. the monster!

That was one cccrick too many …

Easy Gweedo, yinz can’t never be sure where someone is from just by the way they talk Go Stillers.

Go Packers ( I hope the Franks never see that…)

Lio’s from Philly so he’s an Eagles fan.

Wheee………….. guest!

Lio’ Has made a new friend…or pet

Look monster, here’s the offer you can’t refuse. Either be friends with Lio or be introduced to Ishy the Squid who will have you swimming with the fishys. Your choice.

So there’s Waldo

^And if that won’t make you do the right thing, say, ‘hello’ to Lio’s lil’ frien’, Cybil.

@yardiet. Not with Michael Vick in the lineup, he ain’t.

How is Dad going to afford to feed another?

Actually, Lio’s from NJ…which explains all the strange occurences and odd beasties. Right, Mark?

Through the looking glass puddle?

Monster: “Holy cow, there really is a Lio? I thought you were just an urban myth!”

Goody, company for lunch.

Time to join the Skull and Bones Society…

For the monster, it’s like seeing Santa Claus coming down the chimney.

Look at the skulls… Did this monster eat Santa? If so, I think Lio has a new friend!

I can’t decide whether the monster is clapping, or twiddling his fingers & saying, “eeeeeeexxxcellent”, a la Monty Burns of “The Simpsons” fame… Either way, I think they’ll be buddies.

If the monster ate Santa, Lio would be upset

Ah, there’s nothing like “cracking ice” - those puddles of ice under which the moisture has oozed out overnight, leaving thin but glass-tinkling sheets to stomp through! So satisfying … er … except the monster part.
