Lio by Mark Tatulli for May 29, 2009

They make swell party hats!

Not much of a party animal without his wake-up jolt of caffeine!

Brilliant use of coffee filters! Frank must be the snake, we all know Squishy, Mittens, Lio, and Cybil.

Who’s Frank?

Yes, who is he? Lio’s dad?

who filters the coffee anyhow? you need all the caffeine you can get

Note resemblance to lampshades…

FRANK is the snake…I expect you guys to know that! Looks like you need to review your LIO trivia

I hope he doesn’t try to put them back in the box. LOL

What no puppy from the pet store this year?

Congrats on the award, Mark. Well - deserved.

What award?

Reuben for Best Comic Strip

GOOD ONE, pookid54! I always like a good “Ralphie” reference!

Isn’t the squid’s name Ishmael?

That’s the way Lio. Use what you have!!
