Lio by Mark Tatulli for April 07, 2024

He has a future in bartending, Cybil must have taught him.

If nothing more, it appears Lio did well in his bartending class….

Lio’s report card is the only one that also comes with a bill for damages.

I hope that Cybil doesn’t find out about this! That’s HER gin Lio’s using!

that’s a huge cocktail glass, dad’s going to need it real soon.

I hope that is a triple Lio, preferably Bombay Sapphire. Then just give Pops the rest of the gin bottle though Cybil might be angered if you got it from her stash.

Shakened, not stirred.

Poor grades, but the kid mixes a heckuva martini.

There’s a message in there somewhere.

I wish my kids could make my martinis. Olives should always be an odd number. 1 or 3, never 2.

Much like Calvin, Lio is incredibly intelligent, just no use for school.

Shaken and not stirred.

I think we’re going to need a bigger drink!

My grade school report cards were acceptable but in the notes section they often said, “is not working up to his potential.”

It’s not the grades, it’s the teacher’s comments.

The “Martini&Rossi” sure appreciate Lio’s skill.

Nice bribe
