Lio by Mark Tatulli for August 27, 2022

sure that’s not a roc?

Beware the JubJub bird. The Jaberwocky from Alice.

“Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!”

You call and they answer!

Didn’t this strip have a Jabberwock a few weeks ago?

Where would Mark Tatulli be without Lewis Carroll and the poem Jabberwocky from “Through the Looking Glass”? This is the second strip this month referencing the “nonsense” poem (see strip published Aug 1, 2022). I love it. Really, Lio should beware of the Jubjub bird, and shun the frumious Bandersnatch, if he intends to go galumphing back home.

Ouch.

Problem is it didn’t specify what kind of bird.

Lio is feeding the birds.

Oops, he forgot his vorpal sword.

Looks mor like a dragon to me…

Not sure that you want that bird call to work. That’s a mating call you know…..

Those borogroves sure look mimsy to me.

He’ll Roc your world.

The Bronx Trashmen:

o well now ev’vabody hoid, about the boid,

well the boid boid boid

well the b’boid’s the woid……

Wow, Lio. Using that bird call takes talons.

Lio stars in the remake of The Giant Claw

Look at the size of that gigantic bird!

Hey Jub, don’t make it bad!

Looks a lot like a Roc from this angle, maybe a tad smaller.
