Lio by Mark Tatulli for March 29, 2010

Oooooops…..

Uh-oh! It’s that short-tempered Park Ranger again! And Cousin Bubbles is acting out like a true member of her family!

That is one scary little girl !

The word ‘Stave’ here means break?

She’s related to him, all right.

I just LOVE Bubbles!

Wow, Lio is having a tough couple of weeks. Gnomes last week and cousin Bubbles this week. Oh what will our hero do?

KefRayBa: think of ‘stave’ as being similar to ‘stanza’ in poetry.

Oh, dear. Cousin Bubbles seems to be a bit, um, “accident prone.” Yeah, accident prone. That’s the ticket…

As Rodney Dangerfield said, “What’s a bath without Bubbles?”

Maybe Cybil can babysit Bubbles.

Uh, oh…. she’s baaacckk!

cdward, you may have a solution!

very interesting

And when the ranger turns around, she’s pointing at Lio

“Raise up a child in My ways…”

Bubbles and seltzer certainly go together.

Tiny Bubbles…

Old Faithful?

Well this won’t end well for someone!

A rather auspicious beginning to what should be a very entertaining week.

cousin bubbles reminds me of one of my sons when he was almost 2 years old, he never got out of those terrible twos until he was 18

Love it when cousin bubbles visits!!!!! hee hee hee!!!

It’s nice to see Lio interacting with humans for a change instead of all those giant monsters… even if he does mischief!

Splish splash .. Bubbles returns !

or is it “stave 1” instead of “stage 1”?

yah! Bubbles is back! i love her huge eyes.

And when the ranger turns around, Bubbles will introduce him to “Old Faceful”!

In Milwaukee, we call those drinking fountains “bubblers”.

At the risk of not looking it up, I believe “stave” is an old theatrical term for “act”.

Luckily, the park designer decided at the last minute not to install sulphuric acid fountains.

what a cute little squirt!

What would cause more damage, Cybil and Bubbles or Lio and his robots?

according to dictionary.com definition #4 a stave is:

(Prosody.) a. a verse or stanza of a poem or song. b. the alliterating sound in a line of verse, as the w-sound in wind in the willows.

Is that a mountie?

That mischevious little kid!
