Lio by Mark Tatulli for November 12, 2010

Dad got smart. I wonder what his face would have been after the bite.

What’s the matter, Dad? Sudden loss of appetite?

Lio, do you know anything about this? What exactly did you prepare for Dad to eat?

Okay what’s in the food. Better not be Salmonella Poison.

Lio in Extreme Paparazzi Summer 2020

I’m surprised that Dad wasn’t suspicious from the get go.

Just a little too quick on the draw, there. Lio’s face in the final panel is precious.

Lio is getting nasty with that camera, I hope Frank swallows it.

btw question from yesterday Lio’s pets’ names we got Mittens, Frank and Cybil from their food bowls. Fred the 27th from a Fred graveyard I don’t remember Ishmael

Yup, I’d be suspicious too Dad. Oh that Lio!

Busted!

Hmmm…

Hmmm, now why did the name, ‘Tex Avery’ pop into my head just now?

Thus endeth the photographic career of our hero.

He made cajun spaghetti Lots and lots of hot sauce.

Gee, we don’t even let our cats on the table!

This is the only cartoon I know where the cartoonist actually gives the characters four fingers and a thumb.

Lio, Lio…haven’t you ever heard of telephoto zoom lenses?

Is that steam or smoke in the first panel?

Best case scenario, Leo wants some embarassing chewing photos of dad for future blackmail purposes. Worst case scenario doesn’t bear thinking about.

Tomorrow, of course, Lio will probably get his comeuppance from all of his victims. Take note, Lio – your uppance is coming!

It’s probably Cybil’s food Lio’s heated up and tried to feed to dad thinking that….a) he’ll get a one-of-a-kind snapshot of Dad’s spitting it out and b) he’ll get a snapshot of Cybil jumping on the table with machete poised in mid-air….threatening both dad and Lio. I have a feeling Lio knows Cybil is sharpening the blade of the machete already…..preparing for her photo op.
