Lio by Mark Tatulli for May 01, 2022

Okay, place your bets on how many Yorick comments there will be.

Souvenir of Denmark (Who am I to buck a trend?)

Hi Liö, Uncle John.

Old? Or just misplaced?

Alas, poor Yorick, you’re f#cked. (#2)

I ♥ New Yorick (#3)

How to get a head in business.

If I recall there is a Lio collection book entitled There are Corpses Everywhere, parody title and There’s Treasure Everywhere with the cover showing Lio having dug up Calvin’s skeleton and Hobbes’ stuffed animal form.

I’m reminded of a joke about an anthropologist who travels to the Mexican desert on a dig. They’re approached by a character with a package who says “Hey, want to buy Pancho Villa’s skull? I have it in this bag here.”

Well, the anthropologist is intrigued and agrees to buy the skull, where it sits on display at the university anthropology department for years.

A few years after this, the anthropologist goes back to the same dig site, and the same character approaches with a package and says “Hey, want to buy Pancho Villa’s skull?”

The anthropologist stops them and says “I got Pancho Villa’s skull from you years ago. And this one looks smaller than the one you had back then!”

And the character says “Oh! This is Pancho Villa’s skull from when he was a little boy!”

Well, he’s got a relic, and a gift shop. Time to open the museum.

Sealed bids only, no Peking.

Gramps was always so generous…

Yorick.

The police would be interested in that skull.

wait a minute. Lio is a grave robber? Cool. But maybe in bad taste. Oh, of course. Bad taste is Lio’s happy place.

Lio in color!

The really spooky part is, I’ll bet it didn’t take that long to sell…
