Lio by Mark Tatulli for September 29, 2010

The boy will die rich, I swear.

Locust and Found Dept.?

I think you’re right, Marg. He’s going to keep trying stuff until something works.

And Good Morning!

What a nice way to make a living. Lio is so thoughtful.

I would gladly have hired Lio’s unique service to retrieve some badminton birds we put up on a roof (one of our intrepid group shimmied up a tree and over onto the roof, but it was neither easy nor safe)!

I’m guessing Lio has access to nuclear waste…

I wonder where got the insect from? Say somewhere south of Atlanta here, like Locust Grove?

That’s just what the Aussies need, a swarm of these guys!

And Locust-Steed is attentive and ready for dispatch.

Lio & Locust Inc.!!!

L&L at your service, height does NOT matter!!!

If he keeps experimenting with those chemicals and bugs, he may die rich but he’ll surely die young.

On the other hand, Lio will never age….

Time to get hopping Lio!

That’s one big grasshopper.

Lio’s Retrieval Service Coming to a locust near you…

“All right, tree…you can lose Charlie’s Brown’s kite or you can lose your leaves. What’s it gonna be?”

Where’s Peter Graves when you need him?

I wonder if that’s a distant relative of Klikklak, who tore up the racetracks in Jack Kirby’s Kamandi series? http://tinyurl.com/23ptp67

Hey Lio, got anything that slowly devours spammers?

Jiminy Cricket called, he wants to know where Lio got the BGH (Bug Growth Hormone)

Would you please retrieve the moon?

I think Lio regularly visits a planet where all forms of life are giant in size compared to life forms on earth.

Maybe the planet Gigantia. Just a theory.

Awww, it’s just a baby! She’ll be able to go higher when her wings grow!

MT has a great eye for detail on the invertebrates.
