Lio by Mark Tatulli for April 20, 2023

aside form Steven Spielberg’s alien, what alien wouldn’t want Reese’s Pieces?

3 seconds later Lio and the surrounding 30 blocks are reduced to ions as a tri-thermic nuclear fusion bomb vaporizes everything down to a depth of 120 feet!

Maybe this batch of E.T.s like Skittles more

Go ahead and splurge. Give them M&Ms!

What did Reese do to deserve that hatchet job?

Loved Friendly’s Reeses Pieces Sundae

“And what is your tasty name?”

Nothing better than a handful of Reese’s pieces

Collaborator!

No alien can resist them.

What if they want broccoli?

“Breaking News”? Quick, call a repairman! d;o)

Last night NPR’s Radio Lab was about the 3 or 4 times people have done The War of the Worlds as a radio play…including the time it was done in Central America and the public burned the radio station down…

I agree. I don’t plan on surrendering but l will definitely make it worth their while to be my friend….

Alas, the ETs’ rider specified M&Ms… and no brown ones!

I just saw the first episode of the new season of The Mandalorian. Grogu saw a bowl of small orange objects that look like M&Ms or Reece’s Pieces. They should have put some yellow ones in to add to the string of George Lucas/Stephen Spielberg references in each other’s movies.

They wanted to use M&Ms in E.T., but M&Ms turned them down. Reece’s Pieces was a new, up-and-coming candy, and they greatly benefited from the publicity.

Love the E.T. reference.

What is with the Reese’s candy placement, seen this in another cartoon as well.
