Lio by Mark Tatulli for June 13, 2018

He doesn’t have someplace else to put that gum?

Tigers and bears. No lions? Oh my.

Black bears are omnivorous. Better watch out young man.

That must be Bearzooka Joe.

Is his name Zummi or Gruffi? (Yes, I’m a toon head.)

Sorta close to the We Bare Bears

Where is the bipolar bear?

I’d be a little squeamish about going into a zoo where the walls for the bear cages are only 2’ high.

Is that last bear the one that blows up all the balloons? Okay, given that bears don’t exhale helium, could he be the one to make the balloons? Or is that all balderdash?

Sugar-free gummi bears can cause digestive problems, so it might be the most dangerous bear there.

Whatever you do, for the love of God, DON’T EAT THE SUGAR-FREE KIND!

…and of course the horse in stripped pajamas!

This strip is older than Lio. Must be why the bland balloon and realistic bears (well, maybe not the last one)

Pandas are not bears! They are related to raccoons.

Eerie. I’m watching We Bare Bears right now.

Look for the Bare Necessities…

I like bears. Big, small, old, young, black, brown, panda, polar, and bi-polar (in Mythtickle). And, of course, teddy. Lio should visit the zoo more often, one species per visit….

Good thing there’s no koala bear. THEY’RE NOT BEARS!!

Cue the really annoying high-pitched gummy bear song.
