Lio by Mark Tatulli for February 16, 2010

He wasn’t kidding….. Won’t dad be surprised…

Wait until the Cat comes back…

Dr Seuss?

Nice of L to leave D a note. What Things might D and L be having for dinner?

[Okay–naughty joke.]

Hey isn’t “a few” understood to be three?

Lio’s still tootling down the road, doesn’t mean he’s finished yet…

Hey, Thing 1 and Thing 2, long time no see!

Guess who’s coming to dinner?

“A few” is less than “several”, but more than just “one”; a fine example of “fuzzy” enumeration…

Probably on his way to get that other thing. http://www.tvland.com/shows/addamsfamily/images/thing.jpg

After they cook the things, I belive that they are served best with Coke.

But what does he need them for? That is the question…

I’m sure it has something to do with Theodore Geisel’s birthday.

Mckee - If there’s a “Thing 3” out there, Lio’s the one to find it.

Yep, Lio can do it!

Gary McKee – Yes, of course. Here’s thing #3

I don’t need a crystal ball or tarot cards to foresee nothing but trouble from the Things Lio’s picking up!!!

what’s for breakfast, green eggs and spam?

Wait until the Cat comes back…

just wait till they meet cybil

they must have a pretty big house to keep all of lio’s friends

Oh the places they’ll go.

Like a boat, with a goat, on a moat…

“I see dead people’s cartoons.”

They could visit Lyle Lovett on his pony on his boat.

Just one thing after another…

Hmm… Might have worked better as “a couple of things” rather than “a few things.” (It would have fit if the characters were a little smaller.)

Dr. S would be proud.

But perhaps L will be serving green eggs and taking it on the Lam?

I don’t think Dr. Seuss would like very many comics these days, but I have a feeling he would love “Lio”. (Now Lio can meet all the little cats from “The Cat in the Hat Comes Back”, too.)

That’s Thing-a-ma-Bob and Thing-a-ma-Jig.

Simon_Jester,

Wasn’t the original “Thing” played by James Arness? (Marshall Matt Dillon from “Gunsmoke”)

He’s on his way to pick up the Addams’ Thing, the Thing from outer space, and Ben Grimm.

“But the Thing-a-ma-bob that does thejob is the Bibbity Bobbity Boo!”

Lio is VERY literal, it seems.
