Lio by Mark Tatulli for March 23, 2022

Nothing like a good bust.

there’s a planet called Bust? (wink, wink)

It looks ready to go but as it looks like you build it INSIDE, I hope you didn’t forget the opening roof, right? Dad must have a subscription with the builders, but stilll…

The way things are going in the world, you might be better off in space.

As we said in our school: “Boys go to Jupiter to get more stupider. Girls go to Mars to get more candy bars.”

It is indeed my day.

It would take 6 years to get there. So… Lio would still be 9 yo.

The only thing to get busted is the ceiling of his lab when the beast takes off!

But Jupiter is a gas giant! It has no mountain or any type of solid surface!

A gas giant with no known surface, or a planet/comet mal-shaped into a head and upper torso; from the unknown, going to the unknown. I think I will pass, thank you very much.

I’m thinking it’s bust either way!

No mountains on Jupiter but Io is nearby and features plenty of them.

But…Dr Seuss’ birthday is March 2nd. When I did the set for Seussical we had the good fortune to open on that day!

Olympus Mons on Mars is currently the highest recorded mountain in this solar system. However, I would prefer a trip to Asteroid B612 and visit the Little Prince.

If you can’t trust the advice from somebody named Theodor, what can you trust?
