Lio by Mark Tatulli for February 24, 2010

What a great little salesman!

Walt Disney …eat your heart out.

WOW! Guest appearances include Homer (The Simpsons) and Pig (Pearls Before Swine), not to mention the mouse from the Big D House! Where does Lio transact his currency exchange?

Anyway, welcome, visitors!

They’re new to Earth, Lio’s going to hit the jackpot.

martian clams

If there ever was a brain for the aliens to dissect it would be Lio’s.

Your republic credits are no good here!

I don’t think he has enough Ningis to change a Pu.

I guess Liao lives in NY/NJ areas. That would explain much of the strangeness….

Better to sell these Kinds of things now before they get overwhelmed my them.

Cool new Avatar margueritem, I can’t wait to see that film.

“Get back in the saucer Alma! It’s just another tourist trap!!”

Oh great, if one Furon on Earth isn’t enough!

I love Lio.

they’re looking for a rest room, I think

At least you’ll have money if you ever make it to their planet! Hello guests!

“EARTH?! Dangit Zeen, I told you to turn left at Jupiter. Now we’ll never make the party on time!”

What? No little toy “Hobbs”?

Just don’t let him sell any cookbook. Damon Knight told us how that comes out.

TheDoctortheoneonlya… There are no little toy “Hobbs.” Never have been and as far as Bill W is concerned, never will be.

Is this right between the McDonalds and the Arbeys?

if lio ever grows up, he will make a great car salesman, if nothing else he will scare people into buying from him

Silentknight7, alas, it’s only up for today. That movie is a ‘must see’ as far as I’m concerned.

Isn’t that what car salesmen do? I can only guarantee this price til you walk out the door.

Seeing Pig and Homer in this episode makes me wonder what a team-up between Lio and Stewie from “The Family Guy” would be like……..As for MIckey, somehow I always think of Lio as being more the Donald Duck type……

How much $ for the sun screen ??

Let’s hear it for free enterprise–and enterprising kids like Lio!

sgbaguru That’s no ordinary tourist trap, but an extra-terrestrial tourist trap.

I remember the Doctor dropping a handfull of assorted coinage on the table & rushing from a restaurant. The proprietor was angry, but more confused.

No t-shirts? Snow globes? Hats? Postcards? Candy?

Lio needs to expand his business.

“These are not the souvenirs you’re looking for.”

“Come on Xrbglzzfntz, these are not the souvenirs we’re looking for.”

“All forms of interplanetary currency”? What if they have an economy based on, umm, self-produced methane gas? You might not experience the sweet smell of success in this venture.

You’re right SherlockWatson - I’d hold out for gold-pressed latinum.

Lío will trade anything for one of their backpacks, I’ll bet! That is unless they contain oxygen to sustain them on Earth.

five bucks says those backpacks have sulfur

That’s a great comment desturbedlio

It doesn’t matter what is in the backpack. It is just cool-looking!

“That’ll be ten Gloxnards, please!”

me see peeg from pbs.
