Lio by Mark Tatulli for August 18, 2021

Obviously there was some hypnotizing that we dint see.

hammy did it first….with cute butterflies….

There in the fourth panel is a great opportunity for those flies to drop him!!

R. Kelly much? (“I believe I can fly.”)

Hammy does it with butterflies.

Beautiful!

Come fly with me….

ICK!

That “flys” in the face of reality !

Studebaker Hawke, He’s really outta sight.

Studebaker Hawke, He treats the flies alright.

Studebaker Hawke, That’s why they never bite.

If you can’t beat ’em …

“Strength in numbers” illustrated…

Much less malevolent than the origami butterflies in “Spirited Away!”

Wonder if they’re flies – or mosquitoes?

I’m flying…….

Reminds me of the end of “The Red Balloon.”

Not sure that I want to see their leader.

I like how one is holding him by the single stand of long hair out front. Now we know why he has that particular hairdo. . .

When you can’t fight ’em, negotiate.

Are they taking him to Jeff Goldblum?

Looks like Lio caught a buzz…

See! Murder hornets aren’t all bad!

The Lord of the Flies soars again…

Ripping off Hammy from “Over the Hedge!”

Makes me think of Happiness Stan from Small Faces’ “Ogdens Nutgone Flake”.
