Lio by Mark Tatulli for February 11, 2012

Whew!Who knew Ishy was a baker?

Eva, I know you think Lio has cooties, but it’s not nice to make him drop a brick.

There’s a health inspector joke in there somewhere. . ..

Maybe Ishi is the one that will bring Lio and Eva together.

For a movement yesterday, I was going to stop reading this strip because I thought that little freak of nature (Eva) cooked Lio’s best friend!

Eva Rose has “merely” press-ganged Ishmael into sweatshop labor for her bakery. But perhaps these sweet cakes could lead to a reconciliation between Lio and Eva Rose? Ah, Sweet Cakes!

Knew it. I bet she’s enjoying Lio’s panic.

Yes, she’s still evil: putting Lio through so much anxiety and stress, that’s not a nice thing to do.

“Who knew Ishy was a baker?”

Slave, you mean.

Looks like Eva didn’t kill Lio’s squid after all! Lio got fooled kind off! Well enjoy the cakes guys!

Indeed. I especially like Lio’s shocked face in the first panel.

I think it was more like become calamari cakes, or make calamari cakes. Good pick Ishi.

Octo-pie!

We already knew that Eva didn’t mind Ishi. She invited him to a party once.

Lame and late but — LIO TO THE RESCUE! What a heart little guy. And Mark Tattulli thanks for being a FB friend. I will put this under your comments.

Eva would like Ishy, but he is all tentacles.
