Lio by Mark Tatulli for April 22, 2018

I bet our friend Victor sent Lio on this here errand.

Only one foot? Lio better hop to it…

Sheesh. Way to shatter a little boy’s dreams, lady.

The 2 families of resurrectionists, the Frankenstein and Abroghast, have contests to see who can build the best, the most bizarre, the most powerful, the most beautiful etc. of beings with their cadaver biotechnology. Sometimes it can get so heated it bleeds over into our regular world. What a mess to clean up.

There is no reason in the novel why Frankenstein needed to used cadaver parts to build one when he could have used a whole one instead. No assistant, no big light show, just vague talk about “machines that give life” is mentioned in passing, but no more.

I dunno about equal opportunity. All the parts look white except maybe for the brain.

Can you imagine a cartoon like this running in any newspaper in the Fifties?

Ah, yes, this is something that you can’t yet get on Amazon, so you’ve gotta believe they have a team working on it!

Needs Sign: “Member Deliveries in Rear” !!

Oh well, back to grave robbery.

Burke and Hare. They would get the parts you need.

Go around back to the dumpster, boy!

My carcass will be donated; I sometimes wonder whether the parts will be used for student practice, or students’ practical jokes.

Taz: Either way, You’ll be Tickled!

Can’t blame a kid for trying. Now how will he complete his “science project for school” (wink wink nod nod)?
