Lio by Mark Tatulli for August 14, 2013

Lio’s Dad figures that if you can’t lick ’em, you join ’em.

Good ole dad! Understanding, as always.

Better bring a lasso, Lio, in case you spot a Pteradactyl…

Two bland choices by Dad, one exciting choice by Lio. Guess where their vacation will be.

Dad’s not making any promises, just saying that he’ll consider it.

Mysterious Island? That would be Manhattan! Where the Bloomberg lives!

I think Lio might like exploring under the boardwalk.

Captain Harding approvesNemo nods

Ah, Mysterious Island, my all time favorite Harryhausen movie

This looks approximately like the joint efforts of my family to come up with a vacation idea … acknowledging that the mysterious island would be my wife’s contribution, and the two “boring” ones would be mine.

Should choice 3 be chosen, bring lots of drawn butter and some REAL BIG shell crackers!!

That’s Ray Harryhausen’s Mysterious Island, not Jules Verne’s.

Hee hee hee!

Maybe dad is liking how son has developed a taste for classic SF that he himself probably read/fantasized about.

“Mysterious Island” the original “Finding Nemo”

Nice list.

Just in case someone out there doesn’t know, “Mysterious Island” was Jules Verne’s sequel to “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea,”
