Lio by Mark Tatulli for June 11, 2017

I count four out of seven monsters being grown in Dad’s garden; lettuce and carrot and tomato don’t sound monstrous (unless the last one is killer)

Just make your own Lio. It’s not what you expect. Don’t you have a laboratory?

I think Lio has been tricked.

In this case the vegetables will eat you.

Dad, do your weeding now… while there is still time.

Love these old ads from monster magazines; brings back a lot of memories.

I recall those advertisements.

Hmm. I see only six monsters, not seven, in the advert, and only four in Lio’s garden (along with three veggies). So, “all 7 for only $1.00” seems like Un-truth in Advertising! Lio may be out at least 40 cents unless he gets a bumper crop from the Monster Seeds he did plant….

The ad says “Monster Hair” — are we talking Chia pets here?

‘Minds me of that scene in “Jason & the Argonauts”, when Aeëtes sows the earth with Hydra’s teeth, producing a band of skeletal warriors.

A real life ‘Little Shop of Horrors’ in the making.
