Lio by Mark Tatulli for September 10, 2018

Wow… just like today’s “La Cucaracha”: hacking a “Peanuts” reference. In the meantime, how can Lucille beat Lio in charging when he’s ten cents more expensive than her?

I would give Lio my fifteen cents if he was able to talk.

How is Leo going to do straight talk, or not so straight talk, or drunken stupor talk if he doesn’t talk in the first place…

channeling John McCain for this one (R.I.P.)

Later, Lucy gets her revenge through her ‘Kick-the-football’ ploy.

2nd strip Lucy is in. Is this Lucy’s birthday or something.

The next stand over just gives you a good whuppin’

Lio is not one I’d look to for advice on what’s realistic.

The problem with realists is they tend to not get repeat business, and not because they straighten out their clients.

They’re both rip-offs really. Lucy is horrible all around and Lio doesn’t even talk, so he can’t give any straight talk.

I dunno, Lio. Is Realism really worth three times as much as Psychiatry?

(On second thought, no need to answer that question….)

I love it when Peanuts gets parodied in Lio. Peanuts has been done to death.

A fun hybrid today.

For the record, though, seems like those prices today would be more like a $5-15 copay, with who knows how much for the full bill.

Don’t mean to bring things down. Just sayin’.

Nice rendition of Lucy! I love it and definitely think we could all use Lio’s advice (if he talked)!

The problem with this is telling people who really have a problem to snap out of it can readily encourage suicide
