Lio by Mark Tatulli for December 28, 2018

Yeah, knock yourself out, Lio’s bipedal, three-eyed alligator, with 24-day-expired milk.

And just like milk, this strip will get even grosser with time.

If his pet is lactose intolerant, Lio will have to clean up the mess.

Great. Now we’re going to have a curdled-gator.

One man’s trash is one monster’s treat.

Shouldn’t Lio be wearing a full-body hazard suit?

Dad’s spoiled milk is Lio’s lab experiment.

Should’ve read the expiration date beforehand, Dad.

In this case, milk will be doing somebody else’s body good!

I would’ve chanced it too. (Providing it didn’t pour out in clumps).

In my experience, The lower the fat content, the longer milk is good after the “best if used by” date.

“Don’t throw it away, Dad! Soured milk is a kefir!”

(although, most pasteurized milk doesn’t sour, since all of the lactobacteria were killed by the heat. It just spoils due to the growth of other bacteria… and spoiled milk spoils my joke. Oh well..)

If it’s turned green you just save it for St. Patrick’s Day…

Oh, yeah, Most recently (since I don’t drink milk any more) I had a bad carton of eggnog; one swallow was enough to convince me to dump it. Of course, I don’t have a handy insatiable mutant ’gator by my side….
