Lio by Mark Tatulli for August 22, 2019

What nice teeth you have there, are those teeth? Do I want to find out if they are teeth?

Is that better or worse than Perfection, Nevada?

If he would quit mining the spice the worm would leave him alone. He better plant a thumper and run.

Imagination is the spice of life…

For Lio IS the Kwisatz Haderach!!

The spice must FLOW!

According to the gates sign, this nice little pet just ESCAPED from the park, right?

A baby Shai-Hulud, just out of its six-year encystment!

I just noticed the name of the park! That’s awesome. I’m always up for a ‘Dune’-themed comic.

If Leo is in the park shouldn’t the park sign be backwards?

My first thoughts ran to the movie “Tremors”.

They keep labeling it as “Space Worm” but it is just an over priced rip off lamprey.

Ride the worm Lio!

Walk with without rhythm and you won’t attract the worm

In Arrakis Park, we need sandbox power!

I half expect him to take the baby sandworm home. He has a penchant for weird pets.

Whatter yer Dune, Lio?

“Usul, we have the wormsign the likes of which even God has never seen.”

Way to spice things up at the playground!

Barron waist land.

Oh its just a baby.

Lio ain’t dune nuthin.

Oh, shhh… …ai-hulud!

Shouldn’t Lio’s be blue-in-blue?

Thats funny!

There is no fear…

Doom!

Arrakis park is melting in the dark…..

It’s in Long Branch NJ – or one of its relatives is. The link is to the only picture I could find of it – on my Facebook page in 2012. Not sure if it’s still there. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151166602167288&set=a.61154697287&type=3&theater

They’re so cute when they’re babies.

It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.

It is by the juice of Sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, the stains become a warning.

It is by will alone I set my mind in motion

Maybe he should grab his hook and go for a ride.

All the Dune references leave me dry and parched. The sandworm is but a baby, not yet any engine of Spice. Lio may indeed make a pet of it, as someone suggested up above. Arrakis Park is just a themed section of the D*sn*y Empire, led by one of the Evil Houses….

What good is prescience if you don’t foresee the sandworm sneaking up behind you?

that looks more like the creature in the abandoned sarlacc hole in madalorian.
