Lio by Mark Tatulli for January 30, 2020

The eyes have it.

Lio’s going to have trouble shutting his own eyes tonight.

Doubleplus ungood.

If any of them is from the Ministry, you’re in trouble.

It’s getting worse much worse! are you ready for the storm?

Remember when being constantly monitored was considered creepy and unrealistic?… I miss those days.

All eyes are on him…

It’s “Big Brother” and friends!

Well, you know, Big Brother IS watching.

I’m the mole from the Ministry

And you’ll all bow down to me

I’m the mole in your potting shed

I’m the bad thoughts inside your head

And you won’t catch me

.

The Mole from the Ministry by The Dukes of Stratosphear

The Skull Lamp is Big Brother.

Wait until he gets to the illustrated version of Winston Smith in Room 101 in the Ministry of Love!

I know, different book. But would still apply to the residents of Oceania in 1984.

It was supposed to be a warning, not a manual.

BUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hiya Happyx3!!!!!!!!!! Lio has the best toys!!!!!!! :)

Aahhh… The good old days of 1984, when we had a pretty good idea of what was really going on with our leaders. 8^(

Yes the Handmaid’s Tale the picture book he is too young to read. Though there is a single eye on the cover.

Let me know when he gets to Winston and Julia in the woods.

Lio’s favorite part is when the main character is strapped into the torture chair and t government interrogator brings a cage of hungry rats up to the protagonist’s face…

“I love Big Brother.” – Winston Smith…

It’s not just Big Brother watching you, Lio. But I’m sure you know all about the various monsters making your bedroom their lair….

It was not an instruction manual.
