Lio by Mark Tatulli for May 23, 2019

I hope those cookies are of some flavor Lio detests.

Centipede Charmer?

Lio’s got them well trained.

“I swear, Dad, I did not lay a hand on that cookie jar!”

IDIOT! Centipedes are venomous and dangerous.

I didn’t know Lio spoke centipede…..

Hopefully, Lio rewards them for their help!

did those centipedes wash their feet before toting those cookies over to Lio’s mouth?

you don’t know WHERE those feet have been, you know

And after eating the cookies, it’s time to play some retro video games.

After extensive scientific research, I’ve discovered that there’s very little difference between centipedes and millipedes after you step on the dang things………

Where can you buy a big can of centipedes? Costco?

Cute. I like it when Lio employs beasts and monsters to relatively innocent ends.

Looks like an idea he got from another comic strip…

I wonder what he offered them?

Very docile centipedes! And Lio is a good teacher, if a little eccentric. Dad will never be the wiser….
