Lio by Mark Tatulli for November 21, 2021

Take a hint, Lio. Eva doesn’t love you.

She wears his heart on her pinboard???

Pinned through the heart, and you’re to blame. You give love a bad frame.

So Eva’s a member of The Heart of the Month club?

Has anyone taught Eva about dental hygiene ? Wow !

Look on the bright side Lio, at least she’s collecting your hearts.

Awwwww… She collects them and keeps them on display in an important place.

Awww. So cute. She’s been saving them.

Ouch……

Well, last Christmas, he gave her his heart and the very next day, she gave it away. But now she’s keeping it/them, eh?

Lio, this is a positive development. She could be tossing them in the trash but she’s collecting them.

So she collects them…charming.

Old country tune, “One Has My Name, the Other Has My Heart.” Looks like an adaptation could cover this.

“When I am pinned and wriggling on the wall then how should I begin to spit out all the butt ends of my days and ways?” TS Eliot, The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock

To pharaphrase Bon Jovi: “Pinned through the heart, and you’re to blame; Eva, you give love a bad name.”
