Lio by Mark Tatulli for August 02, 2011

Lordy, he’s sucking the whole works down!

how did you get that hamster, lio?

Go hide in Calvin & Hobbes, Dad — the tiger’ll protect you!

Interesting priorities, Lio.

OMG! There goes the WHOLE STRIP, Dad included! Indeed, Dad looks like the one running on a hamster-wheel! —I’ll bid five bucks, Lio!

Yeah then he can run my old Mac for me…

Lio, if it likes wives, I’ll give you $10.

Sorry Lio..not into hamsters.

Nom nom nom nom…

Yup, that’s a big ’un.

but, if it were a gerbil…….

Hey it’s the IMMA FIRE MAH LAZORS face! :D

Lio, just call Oliver Wendell Jones; he made one of those in the ‘80s, so he probably knows what to do with it.

That big guy is really chewing up the scenery, ain’t he?

This calls for the Holy Hand Grenade.

Maybe it’s a giant space hamster — of Fear and Flame!Does anyone else get that joke?

A fellow named Hagrid said he got the hamster from a bloke down the pub. He couldn’t keep it because he’d just been laid off.
