Lio by Mark Tatulli for April 30, 2010

Friends for Mittens and Ishy!

Love this one!

Looks like its gonna be Bruno’s grilled cheese a festa tonight.

Lio has the magical pipe of the Pied Piper of Hamelin! And he’s using it to free the creatures of the sea! Such a bonny lad!

He looks more like the gastropod piper.

Irish eyes are smiling.

Okay . Now I’m hungry .

Once again Lio saves the day.

Send that boy to Louisianna

I’d ask if Bruno was related to Luca who had a seafood connection in The Godfather, but I think Luca’s name was spelled with an ‘s’ rather than ‘zz’.

Exactly how is he saving seawater dwelling creatures by making them march in open air? ::Shakes head:: Mark….

If the pied piper can pipe mice PIE-EYED….. then Leo can pipe seafood sober.

“all seafood is lost.”

Jacque Cousteau would have been proud.

LKD – this is the Lio universe where sea-dwelling creatures (Ishy and Mittens) frequently share the couch with Lio, Dad and Lio’s other friends to watch movies.

Did you pay for those, Lio. From the look on the owner’s face, I’d say no.

That must be a very fast snail :D

Did the squid ever ink a new contract? I only see his kid there.

So is Lio leading them to the desert in this anti-Pied Piper tale?

free the shellfish……….

let them live

Catqueen,

I know, normally I never worry about it. I read Sherman’s Lagoon of all things, but this one.. I can’t get to the needed suspension of disbelief.

@ The_JAM:

It’s a racing snail.

My question is what kind of music is he playing?

My Lio calendar page for today has him slipping a note into the lobster tank. It reads “Take heart. Liberation is at hand.”

you beat me to it saucy – lio is very consistent

He’s doing a crab walk!

The original Pied Piper led the rats to the river; maybe Lio is leading all the sea critters there too.

“Will you walk a little faster?” Said a whiting to a snail, “There’s a porpoise close behind us, And he’s treading on my tail. See how eagerly the lobsters And the turtles all advance! They are waiting on the shingle - Will you come and join the dance? Will you, won’t you, will you, Won’t you, will you join the dance? Will you, won’t you, will you, Won’t you, won’t you join the dance?

“You can really have notion How delightful it will be When they take us up and throw us, With the lobsters, out to sea!” But the snail replied, “Too far, too far!” And gave a look askance - Said he thanked the whiting kindly, But he would not join the dance. Would not, could not, would not, Could not, would not join the dance. Would not, could not, would not, Could not, could not join the dance.

Seafood …. yumm

“Hey, kid! Wait! Stop!”

Lio will be eating very well for a while!

Get your seafood and clams now before the oil slick hits the Gulf of Mexico!
