Lio by Mark Tatulli for October 30, 2018

should’ve gone with something that has no lips, Eva

That was mean, Eva! But Lio seems to be making the best of a bad deal!!

Eva is trying to remember how the story ends.

Go for it, Eva! You know you want to!

Ick! Frog cooties.

Aww – she does love him. In her own way.

should have thought of turning him into something you could squish into non-existence!

That kinda backfired on her, didn’t it?

Sweet little princess, let me introduce his frogness

You alone can get him singing,

He’s all puffed up, want to be your king

Oh you can do it, c’mon c’mon c’mon c’mon c’mon c’mon

Lady kiss that frog

There is also the possibility that if Lio the froggy kisses her she’ll turn into a frog…

“EDGAR ALLEN POE’S MONSTER MOM PROBLEM”

Poe resurrected from the dead

By dear departed mom’s side it is said

DNA is of the unearthly kind so sublime

A giant black “spider” he can be one anytime

Halloween is every day he can see some people

If local’s disappear and loath the night

A giant crawling “spider” may set them aflight

Poe is the spirit of the night forever more…

Where is dear old mom he will find he fore swore.

That’s what you get for playing The Fairy Princess, Eva Rose! Now, you’re either stuck with the Lio-frog, or you must kiss him! Yuck!

I’ll bet anything Lio is ecstatic to be a frog.
