Lio by Mark Tatulli for January 18, 2010

The spider loves cookies too, I see.

Now I wondered what Lio would do if it was Eva who come to sell him the cookies.

Lio attempted to barter and offered a very fair trade: one pet tarantula for one box of cookies. He can’t help it if the “girl scout” couldn’t cope with a cuddly little (well, not so little) arachnid….

Cookies for nothin’ and your kicks for free.

This would never have worked on me, I had a wolf spider for a pet when I was a kid.

are they made from real girl scouts?

Good spider. Cookie for you!

Ahhhh, teamwork.

Is she new in town? Surely everyone knows Lio’s currency? ;o)

you beat me to it Basqueian!

LuvH8 i adore your avatar!

She looks 80 years older in panel 3.

Thank you lamourdelafantom, cookie for you too!

Very good Sisyphos!

Spidey just wants a hug and the girl runs away. At least Spidey got a cookie, despite the rejection. He’s probably better off with Lio, anyway.

That work with Jehovah’s Witnesses ? :)

Hehehe Lio I wanna cookies! :)

caucel, they have Jehovah’s Witnesses in Costa Rica? Do they ride bicycles and where white shirts and a tie?

catqueen, I believe you’re thinking of Mormons.

Ya there are. And not, their just knock the doors and dress regular clothes. Anyway are annoying and Lio give to me a great idea. Hehehe!

The Mormons use tie and suit dress. But mormons just preach in the street.

I would have taken that , my son wants a tarantula

if you suspect those witness people are at your door, answer their knock with an open beer in your hand and offer them one

I answer the door starkers and ask them in. They run for the hills every time.

I can’t believe it is That Time already! Lio may be in for more trouble than even he can handle. It is not wise to tease dragons or Girl Scouts selling cookies. This is SERIOUS stuff. He may never get another Thin Mint again.

He’s just like Garfield in the early comic strips (In “Garfield at Large”)

And Caucel, Mormon missionaries go door to door to preach.

Wow.

The sight of the spider made the girl toss her cookies.

I didn’t realize those cookies could be bought so cheap

Wow, cool….not a single complaint.

I thought for sure that this one was gonna draw at least one negative comment.

Nice to see that it didn’t

Brilliant! I never thought of doing that.

Sadly, now girl scouts come around with an order form, then months later they come back with cookies that are already sold. Dagnabit!

Good one MrGromit!

When Jim Stafford wrote “Spiders and Snakes,” he had to have been thinking about someone like Lio.

Or perhaps he’s twitterpated?

That is just plain evil xD

That poor poor girl………..
