Lio by Mark Tatulli for August 31, 2010

The perfect gift, lio.

Seat B26? –That’s taken! (Very considerate, Lio!)

Chekov got depressed after that @#%&*! show.The Reaper should whack Miller all over again and then bone Marilyn Monroe.

He’s been dying to see that. He’ll kill the audience if it doesn’t start on time, though.

I bet the reaper misses that that silly little boy and that mean little girl…NOT!!

I think Marilyn Monroe is pretty well boned by now. (Sorry–couldn’t resist)

How sweet.

What a kill.

That show really knocks them dead.

Soooo, Aug. 31 is the Grim Reaper’s birthday? Enjoy the show Mr. Reaper.

Grimmy digs his gift.

Mr. Grim must be huge fan of Shakespeare’s plays. Ol’ Billy used to mow his characters down left and right.

Looking forward to the sequel, “Death of a Telemarketer”

Fitting, but the play was so yucky to me when we read it I blocked out the story.

one crucible of this cartoon is knowing that Arthur Miller was once wed to and (we assume) did indeed bone Norma Jean.

apparently some go comics readers are old folks like me and remember that bit of shock from the fifties

awww

Now get in there and knock ‘em dead!

some might even be old enough to catch a crucible reference

Inflation everywhere, but Charon still charges 2 coppers. Are dimes close enough? Pennies are mosly zinc, now.

His favorite play.

Third film of the incredibly popular “death” series. The other two were “death of a lawyer” and “death of a telemarketer”.
