Lio by Mark Tatulli for August 05, 2019

“Don’t eat anything that had a mom?”…then what’s there to eat?

Just curious, but are sea horses considered seafood? It is the FATHER who’s the pregnant one.

Sure, Ishmael is allowed to eat Lio but calamari is off limits.

So, Ishy is a vegetarian? No seafood for him either?!

Plants have moms, too…

I’m not sure Ishy is really vegan…

We also say, “Don’t eat anything that has eyes and a heart”.

so that’s why we have not seen mittens for quite some time

That’s ok, I don’t like squid anyway.

Appears that Squid is female…

Flowers have male and female parts, so even fruits and vegetables have moms.

Is this the same Lio who was feeding tourists to monsters a few days ago?

The kid’s pet is a plate of calamari.

I guess we know why it’s had a mom… Sad…

Mine is don’t eat anything with eyes.

I thought it was don’t eat anything bigger than your head. :)

Don’t worry – tonight’s boiled lobster was an orphan!

Beware, Ishy! Some folks relish fried kalamarakia, with tzatziki and retsina….

Dad, on the other hand, is way too compassionate. He may starve to death before he finds an unobjectionable food….

Remember when Dad and Mittens played a trick on Lio with a fake lobster?
