Lio by Mark Tatulli for December 14, 2023

Time for an artificial tree

Does this mean Charlie Brown’s kite eating tree is vegan ?

Well, it is a good idea to feed it before Dad starts hanging tinsel (if Dad doesn’t chicken out)

It’s a carnivorous coniferous.

Gotta keep your tree well fed or it will burn things down.

Lio has his ideas; and Dad has his.

“Feed me, Lio! Feed me all night long!”

From John Wyndham’s house to yours… Merry Triffidus!

Ah, the carniFIRous christmas, a classic

Where did he get a tree like that?!

Must have made enough money yesterday to be able to feed the tree rib-eyes…

You cut it down, kidnapped it from its home, stuck it in a tiny bowl of water, want to drape it in garish decorations, and a little raw steak is supposed to make up for all of that? I’m guessing there’s going to be a little Christmas tree fire in the near future.

Addams Family Christmas tree got delivered to the wrong address…….. Morticia is bummed.

is that a monster tree? I don’t think Santa wants to be anywhere near that thing unless he’s clever enough to bring a gift for that.

Audrey III?

Lio, we only feed it ornaments and tincel. Only on Christmas eve do wo feed it the ribeyes.

A ravenous tree sucking up Christmas Day dinner! Lol

I wonder if Lio puts a little gin in the tree’s water…..if Cybil would let him!

Careful while you hang those ornaments, Dad!

Dad has second thoughts about dressing the killer Christmas Tree. I think he’s safe, as long as it isn’t singing O Tannenbaum.

Audrey II in a fir coat?

Once it’s fed it will cooperate with being decorated.

It’s a Christmas-Tree Monster! Quick! Find a caterpillar!
