Ah, the Slinky… how nostalgic.

I always preferred Log…

It walks down stairs and stalks your wares; it sounds a bit kinky, tho’…a spring, its thing is mangling. Your killer’s name is Slinky, yo!

It’s alive!

It’s all marketing!

“It slinked me!”

Slinkycide.

And then there is this…

Death by Slinky…

Slinky that chase and choke you? As if they weren’t dangerous enough already.

Poor dad.

There was a story about that on TV last week. Seems that the guy who invented the Slinky walked out on his wife after his first big sales run. And she developed it into a prosperous company.

Lio finds the best shops…….

Just what is it that Lio’s dad does?!? It seems that he’s alys home in nondescript underwear, unshaven, disheveled; is he incredibly rich, on disability, or just a bum?!?

This is why you should always carry a wire cutter for self protection against the deadly slinky!

Relax dad, nothing to get wound up over.

I wish I’d had those when I was a kid.

Since that thing coming down the steps actually started as a DoD project, this strip makes perfect sense!
