Lio by Mark Tatulli for September 27, 2020

If we only could have gotten home from school that quickly!

Wow, the clock hands actually move.

So…….does Lio float in front of this desk ?

I know Lio is ingenious, but just how did he sit in the painting? And how did the clock in the painting ring?

This clock must look like a Dali, now

Lio mourns the fact that he can’t take giant spiders and Shoggoths and spawn of yog-sothoth for show and tell!

Distance goofing off just isn’t the same, Liö?

Very clever Mark.

mechanical virtual reality

Does Lio really miss in-person school that much?

I think more parents are going to have to do something like this soon. Lots of reports of kids getting in trouble for whats in the background.

Interesting that he could sit in a chair that only exists as a two dimensional chair on the wall. I guess that is Lio for you.

In a semi-related subject, I heard a story on the radio that some school districts are so pleased with the relative success of ‘distance learning’ that they may eliminate snow days. If the weather is too nasty to come to school, no problem… just log in from home.

What was he sitting on?

Just one more storm to get through.

Notice how the real background is a bedroom? Seems to me that the roll-up background is an allegory for dreaming and the “bbbrrrrrrrrrrnnng” came from an alarm clock.

A roll-up clock! Genius!
