Lio by Mark Tatulli for November 26, 2021

Just a snack, Lio?

Yeah, but who cleans up after him?

Emily Elizabeth must be on vacation.

Just in time for the new movie coming out. Always wondered how Emily Elizabeth dealt with the aftermath of Clifford’s food intake.

Is this the first strip sponsored by a movie?

Shouldn’t he be red?

I hope Lio’s being compensated for Clifford-sitting!

That doesn’t look like a dog.

You’re standing far too close to the bowl, Lio.

A family in our neighborhood got an Anatolian Shepherd dog in the past year. It is projected to reach 140 pounds (probably about 100+ now). He is an awesome dog and he knows I love to see him walking so I can go give him pettings. His owners tell me he now stops across the street from my house to see if I am coming out. Long story longer; watching the progression of things they use to handle this huge shepherd’s business has been amusing to me. First a baggie, then a simple scooper and now a full handled pooper scooper shovel.

A favorite of my 3 kids years ago!

Should’ve left this one for Sunday when there would be some red to go around.

Clifford can be found only on the isle of Birdwell. He has hollow bones and air sacs allows him to grow so large and a modified escaped brain parasite increases his and the animals of Birdwell Island’s intelligence. Clifford himself along with other strange animals like cat-dog and centipede-dog part of an experiments that went on and they were left to be adopted on Birdwell Island. Clifford was a very small, very red puppy that Emily-Elizabeth adopted where he grew larger and larger till he is the largest dog and “mammal” on the planet.
