Lio by Mark Tatulli for April 25, 2010

ACK, not GIANT rodents?!?

Let’s make it a Rodent Theme Park.

This can’t be good. It’ll be attack of the killer squirrels soon.

Now they don’t have to climb the trees, they’re bigger than the trees are.

I’d hate to see Lio giving those peanuts of his to the elephants at the zoo!

Squirrel Growth Hormone! Isn’t that banned by the NCAA, or PETA, or somebody? Careful, Lio!

AAghh! Regular furry little bandits weren’t bad enough?

Dill from “Cul de Sac” needs to contact Lio – bet he could bring the giant ground sloths back. http://www.gocomics.com/comic_page/explore/187131?page=7

I have those same squirrels in my back yard!

So much for the bird feeder. Bad enough when the squirrels are normal sized.

Bad Lio!

my my………………….lio ur a BAD SCIENTIST WITH CRAZY IDEAS

Shades of Dr. Jekyll and Squirrel Hyde …

He’s making huge squirles

I feel sorry for the poor doggies! Now, they’ll be the ones being chased.

SCIENCE!

Good Lord, the ones I know are already losing their fear of humans thanks to all the snacks they get. Now that the humans ARE the snacks… 0.0

Do that with my dog, Lio. then it won’t be a rat anymore. : )

Now go find some pigeons!

DOC TOON I am afraid you are right again. Hide your nuts!

No you didn’t say that, Lewreader.

I hope Lio and Oliver from Bloom County never end up as lab partners in school !

Rats, somebody already beat me to it, but…

Hey Lio, check out today’s Bloom County. I think Oliver has something (someone?) you’d be interested in. It’s not a hamster, it’s BETTER!

Squirrels !

“all sanity is lost.”

I just hope no pigeons eat any of those nuts; car alarms will be going off everywhere.

And now they are off to Washington, D.C. to find bigger nuts to feed upon.

Tomorrow’s cartoon is a Swedish recipe for Squirrley soup.

The dog from UP just swallowed his translator.

Love Lio’s rig in panel 2 but it would be better if he came up with a harness with four mechanical arms that could do this for him…lol

hay he already has the Doc Oc goggles and lab coat on !

The Giant Rodent Revolution. All is fine until they turn on YOU, Lio!

Looks like someone was watching “The Princess Bride” with the dreaded ROUS (Rodents of Unusual Size)………

I guess Dad made Lio wash off his temp tattoos? Thought they lasted for DAYS!

holy crap! i had a dream just like that one time, only it was bunnies, not squirrels!

Anna, I strongly advise you NEVER to watch “Night of the Lepus”…

Can you just imagine the size of the car you’d have to get in order to fly one of those tails on the antenna…

What did Poncho (from “Pooch Cafe”) ever do to Lio?

Watch out Sophie the squirrels have enlisted Lio’s help.

Lio’s gone squirrelly and nuts all at the same time.

AHHHHH!!!

Ah. SOUS.

Anyone else reminded of Tom Lehrer?

@Sisyphos – People Eating Tasty Animals? You bet!

In Jalapa, Mexico, I had a baby squirrel I raised in my shirt pocket. When it grew up, it became a monster in the house, and we finally had to give it away. These monsters will cause all sorts of havoc.

the REALLY scary thing? My Mom keeps having me print these out to put on the fridge… says they remind her of me when i was that age. last week she printed out one to give to a family friend, like it was a childhood photo, or something. thanks, Mom!
