Lio by Mark Tatulli for November 28, 2023

Mr. Coyote hates it when Warner Brothers calls him up to talk about his new movie.

A rotary dialer! Classic!!!

That’s mean. Poor Wile E. was just sitting there, relaxing.

Sometimes Lio is the bully. He needs to reflect on his own behavior, sure ACME sells some self-reflection books or at least the proverbial mirror.

W.E.C.P.T.S.D.

And it’s not “BEEP BEEP”, it’s “MEEP MEEP”.

Wile has PTSD, bless his heart. But alas, it is by his own devices.

Cold Lio , Cold !

After the call good old Wile E. Sticks a stick of dynamite in his mouth and lights it.

Very mean, LIo. I expect better of you.

My childhood was ruined when I leaned this: a roadrunner’s top speed is 26 MPH; a coyote’s is 43 MPH.

You did it wrong Lio it’s meep meep.

A phone call with Wiley Cayote would be quite a one-way conversation.

Stop tying up the line. How is he going to order from Acme?

Little does Wiley suspect that the road runner actually is the CEO of Acme!

Nasty, Lio. Nasty.

That’ll teach Wile E to answer the phone. Meep meep

Boy!! Talk about crossovers!! This one is WAY over! Great!

Wile E looks sad. Maybe porch pirates have stolen all his Acme orders.

A way to answer when telemarketers call?

That was cruel. Lio may be weird, but he isn’t cruel. He needs to send Wile E Coyote a roadrunner meal (not from Acme) with all the trimmings to apologize.

At least that mailbox won’t be empty. With his movie on track to be released, the checks should be rolling in.

Wile E. will never escape the trap of fame.

Lio the sadist strikes again.

“Is your roadrunner running? Well, you better go catch it”
