Hah, gary larson said he wasn’t allowed to print the word dork because it has another more crude meaning besides just ‘stupid’. In like 15 years, I guess all that has changed….
he doesn’t like to see ‘unusual’ looking animals killed for food! Mittens the lobster anyone? yeah, i know. Crippled lady with no life. i’ve read all the comics. i don’t recall we ever really see Lio eat meat though. and that turkey bikini avatar IS hilarious.
Until 5 minutes after the 3rd panel, when every predator in the area will be feasting on their carcasses. Farm-raised turkeys are so fat they can’t even get out of their own way.
I think Lio really just learned how incredibly stupid domesticated turkeys actually are (wild turkeys being significantly more intellegent, and they’re not exactly the brightest bulbs around), and he wanted to see it in person.
I know a guy who grew up on a turkey farm, and one of his favorite insults is ” … dumber than turkeys, and there ain’t nothing dumber than turkeys!” He said that if a turkey happens to be standing under the downspout in a rainstorm, it will actually drown instead of moving away.
Sorry, yeah, I understand that’s more than anyone wanted to know. I have the nickname of “Font of Useless Knowledge” for a reason. =]
yeah cutiepie sounds like you know ALLLLLL the urban legonds. did you know if you throw something over a penguin’s head it’ll fall over backwards? you know it watches it go overhead and doesn’t bend too well so timber!
gullible people claiming to be bright amuse me. and you’ve just met the Goddess of useless information. that turkey thing is in SEVERAL books about urban legends deary. either your friend is dumber than his turkeys or you are as gullible as my younger stepsister (named Cybil amusingly) who i used to nail with ‘did you know the word gullible is not in the dictionary’ at least once a week.
Lio didn’t do this out of the kindness of his heart. Whether puttting turkeys home on the range or setting off nuclear explosions in his backyard, Lio’s a subversive without a cause. And I don’t like the idea of him earning a Reuben Award for that.

So what does Lio eat at Thanksgiving then?!?

When did Lio join PETA? I must’ve missed that strip …

They’re doing the turkey trot. I wonder if they like Turkey in the Straw.

Run free turkeys.

Laugh now, Lio, while you can. What happens when you and others who would get their holiday bird from Farmer Dork go without on Thursday?
cdward over 14 years ago
Carmy, love your holiday avatar! BTW, who said Lio’s freeing the birds? He just might be steering them toward his own feast.

At least they weren’t dropped out of a helicopter: “Oh the humanity …”

The turkeys ran across the highway where a semi-trailer smashed them to pulp.

Now what’s for dinner, Lio? Tofu?

Lio’s going to get an award from PETA.

Lio has always been a protector of animals. Remember the one where he invaded a fur clothing store?
Three cheers! Go Lio!

The best way to have turkey for Thanksgiving dinner is as a guest.

I’m guessing they don’t serve veal or turducken at Lio’s house.
