Lio by Mark Tatulli for May 24, 2021

Lio would rather not.

So there really is a Ray of hope for elementary education.

You would think Lio would feel right at home with that staff….

Lio should embrace all of them, he invites lots like them to his house, much to the umbrage of his dad!

The push bar on the door means that it should open inward, not outward.

Lio looking after the safety of his fellow students?

Nice shout out to the old master “Ray Harryhausen”.

I’ve seen a lot of ZOOM calls that look like they were poorly stop-action animated. It sounds like a way to try to duck out of class.

The Addams family.

These critters look more Lovecraft than Harryhausen…

Summer school starting already?

They’re hungry to see the kids again.

Is that school on Totter’s Lane?

I’ve had dreams like that. Don’t eat the fuzzy pizza, kiddo!

I replied to a couple of posts above with this info but just for visibility sake, I wanted to put it here too:

Harryhausen Elementary is a nod to the animated Pixar film called “Monsters, Inc.” There is a sushi restaurant called Harryhausen’s.

Ray Harryhausen was the father of animation, not Pixar, although they did pay homage to him and rightly so. He used models and stop motion photography to film armies of by skeletons and attacks by monsters. See “The 7th Voyage of Sinbad” as an excellent example.
