Lio by Mark Tatulli for January 31, 2022

Huh, perhaps Lio should read today’s Ripley’s Believe it or Not?

I’m sure I’ve seen that elephant somewhere. It’s not Babar in retirement, is it? Anyone?

Wow. Lio has Babar’s home number!

Lio knows pretty much everybody.

Just some kid using his lifeline.

“Who was that?” “Just an old friend who needed my help!”

I guess I don’t need to lookup that word in the dictionary.

He should have read today’s Ripley’s Believe It or Not.

Actually, there are many more than 3 species of Proboscidea, if you count the plant species.

Two types of African elephants (I didn’t know that until I looked it up) and the Asian elephant.

Ah, 2008, when kids still used flip phones.

een on an organization’s bulletin board: “Meeting thinks one around here is like elephants mating. It is preceded by a lot of yelling and screaming and takes about two years to show any results,”

I guess animals can talk in Lio. Just not humans.

“Phone-a-friend” is not allowed for quizzes.

Today’s Ripley’s Believe or Not had a blurb on the gestation period for elephants (approximately 22 months)

Wonder which is harder to believe: the elephant couple, or that nobody saw/heard Lio using the phone?

“Who is going to give birth first, your wife or your elephant?”

“Who told you about my elephant?!”

Who wants to pass a quiz. Phone a Friend?

Funny cuz today’s RIPLEY’S BELIEVE IT OR NOT has the actual answer!!
