Lio by Mark Tatulli for August 04, 2016

Great way to put somebody out of business.

Perhaps Lio’s marketing strategy is to get the salesman to buy him out.Either that or he’s in cahoots with the salesman. There may be a sign saying ‘You break it, you buy it.’

Lio’s business strategy might backfire if his customers end up popping those balloons without purchase and the balloon seller charges Lio for every balloon popped.

And our gummymint geniuses wonder why the world can’t all just get along and live in peace?!This is just Lio and one Balloon Man at the entrance to (?) a public park!

Pea Shooters = $0.25Peas = $0.50

Who wants to shoot at peas? They’re tiny and hard to hit…

Popping balloons… mischievous Lio… Irreverent always… Positively Trumpesque.

No, Lio, give away the shooters for free, then charge 25 cents for each pea! Much better business plan.

In a Donald Duck cartoon, Donald sold balloons and then released a bee to pop them so the kids would buy more.

Bruno: One of the Inspector Clouseau movies? Probably “A Shot In The Dark”, where he keeps getting arrested.

Looks like Lio’s trying to destroy business!

All Liō is saying is “give peas a chance.”

I’m just saying that he would put the balloon salesman out of business since he is right there besides him. Nobody would want to buy balloons if they know Lio is selling those pea shooters. What would be the point on buying one if they are going to pop it up as soon as you buy them? Unless…
