Lio by Mark Tatulli for December 23, 2013

Lio can talk anybody out of anything.

Okay. Lio will get more presents, but the giant has to hop around on one stocking?

Lio met Paul Bunyan. WOW!

Hope Lio washed it before he hung it up…

That’s where my other sock disappeared to?

I dunno, Lio. Santa may not take kindly to your idea of borrowing a giant’s stocking to hang as your own. On the other hand, a single filling of coal would probably be enough to heat the house all winter ….

I hope he gave him a clean sock and not the one off his foot.

I pinned up my daughter’s own sock and told her that’s her stocking this year. She didn’t like my little joke.

They never tell you that part of the story.

Nice to have friends in high places.

Soldier Insects got sockies?

He’d lose the other one in the drier eventually anyway, so…

Just remember to give the big guy his cut

Lio is fully aware that to be selfish is to be naughty, which is why he only asked for one stocking! (Of course, he could have asked for one as a bribe to Eva Rose……..)

Interesting.

Santa is going to love filling that one!

ujean: there is also a spaceship on the tree…I assume you were talking about the skull.

My Dad used to have a giant felt stocking “For the man who wants everything!”
