Lio by Mark Tatulli for June 01, 2017

Classic Theme Song Department. Xorro! Xorro! Xorro! / The duck so cunning and free! / Xorro! Xorro! Xorro! / He makes the sign of the X!

well, at least it wasn’t the duck from “Pearls Before Swine”

Classic Riddles Department. 1. Why did the duck cross the kid? 2. What do you call a cross between Lio and a duck?

So will family oriented newspapers discontinue “Lio” since its protagonist has been rated X? Not if they consider that only a fowl-minded individual would do so.

And last, I promise, and possibly least…. What’s the difference in a duck?

Can’t say you weren’t warned, Lio!

This is only one way it could’ve played out. If the duck was from the Vatican, say, it would be a whole different crossing.

Or as my friend put it blazing at full speed through a crosswalk “You want me to xing (pronounced zing) the bi-peds? OK!”

Lio should have ducked.

Y did he do that?

So that’s why the duck crossed the road.
