Lio by Mark Tatulli for June 14, 2012

Grandma forgot the instructions…

don’t get it wet and don’t feed it after midnight

From the looks of things, you outta house and home.

Well, “it” does seem to be hungry. But as long as it doesn’t eat little boys or friendly and trusting squids, Lio should be okay with it. He can always buy a sack of monster mash at the store….

Lio is ambidextrous.

‘snips of snails, and puppy dog tails.’

“Little girls?” Beware Eva Rose…

Maybe if he’s lucky, it’ll eat ill-tempered cats.

I wonder what Grandma’s house is like.

or the wallpaper itself…

Lio takes after his Grandma? Can’t wait to see what the pet is.

I wonder what the pet was?

From the damage, I’d say it’s a Grizzly Bear, in which case, everything.

Poor Lio! Nobody gave him a plush Cthulhu doll.

wallpaper + claw marks = playful feline without a scratching post.

Looks like it’s hooked on wallboard. Let’s hope it’s not gypsum intolerant.

I love Lio…

Not sure what it’s made from, but it caught on in a flash.

These strips sort of remind me of Brandon Sanderson’s Alcatraz Smedry books- both are ironic, confusing, bizarre, and involve things that are broken and evil librarians (Well, okay, so Lio dosen’t have any evil librarians. Oh well.).
