Lio by Mark Tatulli for October 01, 2011

SNERK!!

Nobody waiting in either line…

Pay day for both if Tom Cruise drops by.

Love the cameo, MT.

Careful Lio - you could end up married to Lucy. . ..

Nice ethics – blowing the guest star a raspberry!

Well, he tries to be as scary as possible. That worked!

Lio, NOOOO! Well, looks like another celebrity has been co-opted. Lio’s amazing finances will be tested.

Careful, Lio. Lucy WILL slug you.

Oh crap. Don’t go there Lio….

Lio’s booth doesn’t have a price, you’ll notice.

Ha … love the hybrid here.

@Kathleen – there aren’t enough zeros available.

Stick with Lucy. She’ll only cost you a nickel. The Scientologists will probably ask for the moon.

tHEY MAKE A LOVELY COUPLE……

Ok, have to do a correction. NASA named the world’s first space-based optical telescope after American astronomer Edwin P. Hubble (1889—1953). Dr. Hubble confirmed an “expanding” universe, which provided the foundation for the Big Bang theory. Love Zappa’s name for it though.

Just get your business declared a religion and you don’t pay taxes.

I’ll take the guy on the right.

Lio is a weird kid. I never expected Scientology weird though.

Hubbard wrote pretty good satirical fiction.His “Serious” stuff seemed to go out into la-la land.

Lio’s perspective is skewed (but then again, he IS pimping Thetans).

The lines in the sidewalk suggest a vanishing point off-panel to the right, but the two stands are oriented for a vanishing point in the panel’s center (Lucy’s booth works for either). If Lio’s box is rectangular, we should be seeing the right side (from our vantage), like we do Lucy’s. The leading edge of it is parallel to the horizon, so it can’t simply be angled away from Lucy. For this drawing to work, either the base of Lio’s box is a parallelogram or the lines in the sidewalk aren’t perpendicular to its edges…

Scientology is scarey, and so are the people who practice it.

What’s an “ethics officer”?

Anyone here who is even thinking about giving the Cult of Hubbard a try, please watch the South Park episode “Trapped in the Closet” first.

An Ethics Officer in Scientolgy is someone who helps a person sort out questions, confusions and problems with regard to ethics. This is important because we have found that a strong sense of ethics leads to a happier life.

Nice salute to Charles Schulz and a well deserved rasberry to Lucy.

For ethics you get charged 72 dollars.

i had a friend who was a scientologist. he said he was a “clear”. i told him he was partly cloudy.

Yay, Lio! You go, kiddo! LOVE the raspberry!
