Lio by Mark Tatulli for August 08, 2022

Don’t taze me, bro!

If seeing this after a recent rewatching of Guardians 2, there is an extra smile from this.

Well, there’s yet another way to get lovesick Lio away from Eva.

Shocking. Just shocking.

She makes my heart skip a beat!

It does make you wonder from time to time what he sees in her…

Look on the bright side, Lio. At least she’s taking your heart with her.

your love for her is shocking. :D

Isn’t technology wonderful?

Take another little piece of my heart now baby…

I don’t know what her hesitation is all bout, they were MADE for each other!

Going back to school now, boy, you’re a terror in disguise.

Bringing shrunken heads? I don’t think that’s very wise.

With a snake in your bed as you sleep through the night, you dream up mayhem quite diverse.

You know you’re something special, and I think it’s for the worse.

CHORUS: His name is Lio, and he’s one eccentric kid.

His main companion is a huge, land-dwelling squid.

He’s always doing things authorities forbid.

Oh, Lio, Lio, do you see what you just did?

I’ve seen you in a lab, and I’ve seen you out in space.

You lead kids to their deaths, if not the human race,

With the Reaper or a giant beast.

But then, I’m sure that your friends could use a feast.

CHORUS

Hey, now, woo, look at that; did young Eva shoot you down?

With the things you contrive to make her your wife,

You’re lucky you’re alive, alive, alive!

Don’t take that chance, ‘cause she won’t take your side

For nothing. I know what you’re thinkin’,

But she’d sooner go join your kitten in drinkin’.

CHORUS

His name is Lio, and it’s hard to guess his age.

He deals with characters across the comics page.

Most folks react to him with fear, disgust, or rage.

All of his friends belong within a tomb or cage.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo…

—me channeling Duran Duran

Some girls just have a lot of ways to rip a boy’s heart apart…

Eva packs a gun?

And yet Lio’s electric dreams persist!

Sort of how I feel today knowing Olivia Newton John passed away.

Ah, her love is so electrifying!

Shock it to me, shock it to me, shock it to me yea.

Eva is so evil
