Lio by Mark Tatulli for February 16, 2014

Naked Breakfast?

At least it ain’t Soylent Green Flakes!

Oh goody – A new pet for Lio.Dad’s not going to appreciate it, though…

If that started out as a regular cockroach, what’s going to happen to Lio?

Oh, look! Kafka’s giant cockroach! Do I set a place at table for it, or do I eat it?

Yuck! That’s a surprise alright!

Won’t you share your breakfast with me, Lio?

Oh look! Lio likes skim milk.

That qualifies as a surprise.

Never having read Kafka, I don’t get the joke…

Skim milk? SKIM MILK?!?!?!

Bad suprise!!

No, no. You’re thinking of politicians…

I tried reading Kafka once. Had to have my brain professionally turned right-side out again. ’Nuff for me.

FDA approved. The cereal doesn’t have to be “reprocessed” unless it has more than 30 roach pieces per 100 grams of cereal. No rule about whole live roaches, and a whole one is just 1 piece.

that’s a keeper

I lived in Jackson Heights once, too.

Latest in GMO tech?

The roaches ARE the crunchy stuff. The surprise is an oat flake.

Breakfast cereal from China. Yummy

You got me beat. Kafka and mutant roach movies?? And WHY am I asking about this?

Reminds me of life in my old apartment.

Lio might like this version of Kafka. Especially the ending. http://www.amazon.com/Franz-Kafka-Superhero-David-Gerrold-ebook/dp/B004S837L4

The first question was to you, about the connection between Kafka and mutant roaches. The second was rhetorical.
