Lio by Mark Tatulli for August 12, 2009

Hey, I can hear the death rattle!

What does the Music of the Skull sound like, Lio?

Watch it Lio, it might talk your ear off.

Maybe it’s the Grateful Dead or the Dead Kennedys.

No wonder the beach looks empty

Some guy’s out of his skull…

Maybe it’s the sound of the Dead Sea.

Dang doc you beat me to it! It was my first thought.

A little Hamlet comes to my ear

More decorations for his tricycle?

Has anyone heard from The Grateful Dead lately?

Bravo, Tatulli! And bravo, farleftside!

OK so maybe it is me but I got the impression that Lio found the skull and realized he had been filling his bucket with the skeletons of other creatures. The suprise on Lio’s face is the joke.

Awesome comic today.

That would be AWESOME for me to find at the beach. of course, id have to ask for it back from them CSI folks when theyre done.

Listen! If you put it to your ear, you can hear the death screams!

Put a skull to your ear, and you will hear someone offer you three wishes in exchange for your soul.

Of course, whoever receives Lio’s soul will be eager to return it. 8)

Who knows what he hears.

How is that that I can never find such cool things as that one when I get to the beach!? ¬¬
