Lio by Mark Tatulli for September 02, 2022

I don’t think the children are really playing with the squid, Lio.

Don’t disturb the water.

Well, which one is endangered?

With HUNGRY Squid

This reminds me of a Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom which I saw way back in the ’70s. Marlin was down in the Amazon with Jim Fowler and his crew. They had enlisted the help of a local dude, I think he was named Pablo. Jim and Pablo were in the water wrestling with what appeared to be an anaconda and Marlin, standing on the shore, stated: “Jim and Pablo appear to be in a bit of strife with the anaconda” as Jim and Pablo were almost pulled underwater by the snake. After commercial break the anaconda was on the shore and Marlin was talking about its strength as he held it. I think Jim did a lot of the heavy lifting on that show but it was still great entertainment back in the day.

More like “Squid at Play.”

I was sort of hoping that this would be a continuation of yesterday’s strip, but this made me laugh, so all is well.

I think of the sign as sort of like “Still life with …”

Sign should say “caution Squid at play”

Sign should say “Please Don’t Feed the Animals”.

Iggy plays a bit rough.

JAWS is out this weekend!

Ishy having fun!
