Lio by Mark Tatulli for June 07, 2024

New meaning to bathed in fire.

Did he bring his salamander bath toy with him?

Now there’ll be hell to pay.

Won’t be able to use that grill anymore after this.

Hand him the mustard for body wash

Hot tub for the denizens of Hades. Throw on some more charcoal, Lio.

Not everybody has the same idea, Lio.

What? Never seen an imp take a bath on the grill before?

Toasted buns anyone

smells like sulfur

Anybody remember the old comic book devil—what was his name, Hot Stuff?

What? Nobody has said “Cute li’l devil” yet?

You may want to change the charcoal after they’ve finished

I can hear him, “The Marriage of Figaro!”

Fire would burn off any dirt on his body while it washes off any oil. The heat from the fire sanitizes any bacteria.

Kinda gives “red hots on the grill” an entirely different meaning, yes?

Slam the lid, jam it closed with the trident… then cook 3 hours and serve with mango salsa and an IPA.

So that’s what happened to Sam McGee!

Must be Sam McGee.

At least Lio knows the fire is hot enough.

Liō’s definitely got it right — catsup on hot dogs!

That’s a Hell’uva BBQ.

Serves him right for wanting to put ketchup on his hot dogs.
