Lio by Mark Tatulli for September 26, 2009

Good thing the boa was a pal of Lio’s. So nice of him to help with a research project.

What are pals for, if not to join a research project?

He deserves an A for getting so wrapped up in his research.

Liǒ’s lucky mr. constrictor didn’t squeeze the poop out of him.

There’s nothing like a little hands on experience. Lio gets an A for sure.

thats so practical! ;)

snake in last panel looks more like a hooded cobra.

Nothing like a good primary source for your school reports.

@JDG thats a chair with little skull on top

A dangerous research project. :) care Lio!

guitarmutt - A little hands on experience? I didn’t know snakes had hands!

That’s excellent. Extra credit for Lio.

And if the teacher doubts the veracity of his work, he can bring snakie to school and pressure her into changing her mind.

Doctor Toon. Lio had an eye popping experience.

I had way too many snake buddies when fishing in TX as a kid. Mud, cattails, nighttime, fish = snakes. Had four or five large snakes around my ankles after an hour. Delicately Lio like tip toed away without pissing any of them off by stepping on them. Live and let live, I say.

that is one cool lamp Lio

Not that I make it a habit to quote Garth Brooks, but it seems like Lio’s always got Friends In Low Places.

And this one is trying to put the squeeze on him…..:-).

I love lio’s light!

This makes me think of Mowgli, from the Jungle Book. The real Kipling story, not that awful Disney garbage. In the book Kah the snake was Mowgli’s friend and protector. Disney decided that they needed a goofy villain and screwed Kah over. It’s good to see a wholesome relationship between a boy and his boa. Thanks Lio!

dstufff—– I was talking about Lio’s experience; not the snake’s. Figurative thinking I’d say.

i love the middle scene where Lio’s like “A Ok” LOL

NOW we know what kind of snake frank is =)
