Lio by Mark Tatulli for December 28, 2022

It was a bad day, Joe. The calls for a Shirley Temple, neat.

Johnny Lee—Miscellaneous/You Could’ve Heard a Heartbreak/Behind the bar I see some crazy things

Did you hear about the dyslexic who walked into a bra?

Isn’t Lio a little young for that?

“Three fingers of milk and leave the bottle.”

At least she didn’t use the onion this time, Lio (see yesterday’s strip for the reference)

Show me to the next Whiskey Bar , oh don’t ask why , oh don’t ask why……( The Doors )

She should turn the tables and chase him. He’d run the other way in no time. Problem solved.

It’s quarter to three, there’s no one in the place except you and me

So, set ’em up, Joe, I got a little story I think you should know

We’re drinkin’, my friend, to the end of a brief episode

Make it one for my baby and one more for the road

And make it a double.

No problem is so bad that a drink can’t make worse.

Wow, first time I’ve seen him down and out about Eva.

This isn’t funny. Maybe fifty years ago.

“Bartender! Milk! Chocolate!”

Hot chocolate, extra cocoa, double the marshmallows.

That place is an Ice Cream Bar – hold the marischino…

Gimme a sassafras, Lou. Make it a double.

Awwww :(

Pour me another Root Beer..

Sorry, Snoopy, you’ve has enough.
