Lio by Mark Tatulli for August 07, 2024

Almost sounds like a legal disclaimer hidden in there.

Doesn’t Lio need a mouth to buy the candy?

Mother’s guilt trip.

Bonus points if it’s situation outside a dentist’s office.

Truth in advertising?

When I was up a tree or on the roof, my mother would holler:

If you fall down a break both your legs, don’t come running to me.

Lio doesn’t have a mom…

What? No diatribe about diabetes? Yer lucky ya don’t have to take insulin shots, like the kid down the block who was born without a pancreas! You keep eatin’ all that sugar and you’ll see!…….(blah, blah)

Grandma’s Candy Dish®

Willy Wonka will give the opposition’s response…..

Sponsored by dentists everywhere!

At least have a toothbrush and toothpaste dispenser nearby then.

This is embarrassing, but I think I recognize almost all of those! :)

Just wait until you have crowns and eat a caramel-back to the dentist to get it re-glued (if you’re lucky and didn’t swallow it). They always ask “what were you eating.”

I’m sure they sell lots of candy with that strategy.

Nobody needs a mom like that!

Despite my sweet tooth, I still have a full head of teeth at 70. Hair, on the other hand, is now a rare commodity up there.

And Ziggy is eating at Mom’s Diner right around the corner.
