Lio by Mark Tatulli for August 27, 2024

Shelob is gonna be angry!

Vincent Price movie with plot twist….

And the poor spider and her ability to have more spiders without food?

Lio wasn’t really interested in defeating the spider. He wanted to add a talking fly to his collection.

Macabre-ly cute.

When I read this strip it made me think of David Hedison at the end of that 1958 film….

The spider couldn’t move a few inches to reach the fly in the time it took Lio to put on his outfit and bring his fire truck??

Great, now I have Vincent Price’s voice in my head!

Aww… he wouldn’t hurt a fly!

Spiders’ gotta eat too

Not quite like getting a cat out of a tree, but still heroic.

The spider swears like Crabby over on Mutts.

Depends which end of the web you’re on, I guess.

Now now spider, no cursing

If Cybil is ever up a tree, leave her there!

Did it have David Hedison’s head on it?

Better than throwing a rock into the web and smashing/murdering everything

Lio, is not clever have Carlotta as an enemy.
