Lio by Mark Tatulli for April 27, 2022

It’s your friend Bill, Opus.

A few feet from me is my 15"-high Opus telephone. Just sayin’.

I had Opus and Bill the Cat everywhere in my room and all the omnibus books when I was in my pre-teens. I never understood why my friends didn’t like them…

I love these little cross overs!

Bill the cat must be lost…

OPUS!!

“Bill the Cat!” “How much should I bill him for?”…

How did Bill know that he would be here?

Boy, Lio just knows EVERYONE, doesn’t he?

Bill!

Poor Opus…can’t even go to a friend’s house for a few minutes away from the gang over at Bloom County!

Poor Opus. At least, this time is not a jealous woman who is sure to have called her cheating husband

I like how Lio’s cell phone has a string on it so it doesn’t get lost. Nice that it has its own stand, too. Where can I get one??

Opus! I love guest stars! Guest penguins, especially!

Wow. 2 references to Bill the Cat in one day! I used to love Opus!

I miss Opus.

Great cameo …

The older I get, the more Bill makes sense.

PENGUIN!!!!!!!!! Hiya Crafty!!!!!!!!!! :)

Bill must need to be jailed out of jail. Again.

There was a Bill the Cat reference in today’s Sally Forth strip, too.

But Lio doesn’t speak, so how’d he accept the collect call from Moscow? (cf current Bloom County story)

This lot should be half as good as Bill The Cat and Opus were/are.

“It’s for you, Opus.”

Give me a sec to hook up my “Bill the Katt” official translator. Hmmm it seems he’s really asking Lio if Cybil is available now that Socks (The Clinton’s cat) is unavailable.

Even got the lettering correct! Stupendous!
