Lio by Mark Tatulli for November 08, 2024

You created a monster-lobster Lio!!

A hot tub… ironic.

I think a Monet would be nice for the wall

Lio, No! That was how Pinchy became Homer’s dinner!

Not too hot water I hope.

That lobster is bisque if it keeps up its demands.

enough of the crustacean already!

Mittens, you don’t want a hot tub unless you want to be dinner!

But Lio’s father already has a hot tub for Mittens

Dad had a hot tub all ready for him

One wonders if Lio’s Squid will be jealous of his new Lobster pet Mittens

Lio might be thinking about making that tub very hot indeed — and having some garlic butter handy. Better not go overboard, Mittens. Hmm, lobster, overboard… oops?

Why does this story feel like a re-run?

Now, now, Mittens — Dad had a hot tub all ready for you the other day!

This is cute as Lio goes.

who says a crab isn’t a pet anyways?

and get the warm butter bath

Mittens is now Liō’s neighbor

If you give a mouse a cookie…

A hot tub should be the last thing he needs. Evidently no one has told him what could happen if the temp is turned up.

I don’t know that a hot tub is really the most appropriate furnishing for a lobster residence

Lobsters can talk and Lio can understand them?

The lobsters at the local seafood store have rubberbands on their claws.
