Lio by Mark Tatulli for May 10, 2020

I wouldn’t touch him with a six foot poll. Those things are a bit heavy.

I got news for you: Aliens didn’t want to get near us, even BEFORE the virus…

there must be an intergalactic pandemic going on

Feet?! Wouldn’t this alien want to stay at 6 tentacles?

I just watched the old Twilight Zone episode “To Serve Man”, in my opinion one of the best of many from that iconic series. I guess now we’d be off the menu so to speak like Mad Cow beef….. Rod Serling definitely was ahead of his time with some of those episodes in which he wrote the teleplay (or Charles Beaumont or Richard Matheson wrote them) or adapted them for use from short story anthologies.

The alien has six feet.

Lio, help and alien out. Turn around and bend over.

If aliens got the message …

If there were anyone that needed protection it would be a person visiting a fertile planet other than their own. Remember War of the Worlds?

Lio should have figured their response long before. It’s not rocket surgery or brain science.

Well whaddaya know, that alien has 6 feet.

A “Close Encounter of the Third Kind”. https://media1.tenor.com/images/71e844acfc87507d77346815ad0c366f/tenor.gif?itemid=9484022

Word gets around fast, doesn’t it.

Those hearts suggest more than friendliness.

Social distancing is an oxymoron.

Yes, you do seem to have six feet, or tentacles, sir! Let me introduce you to Custom-Made Italian leather shoes, or tentacle-covers, at $4000 a pair, and since you’d require three pairs, that would come to $12000. But they are Earth’s finest! Would I lie? —And remember, we all want to maintain Social Distancing….

Lio! Are you huckstering our visitor-from-afar again?
