Lio by Mark Tatulli for April 24, 2012

must have been an epic spit-take

Ishy is less than amused…

When babies teethe, everything goes in the mouth. In this case, expect payback Lio.

Baby Liō’s first taste of calamari.

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWwwwwwwwwwWWWWWWWWWWWwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don’t know why this is so amazingly cute to me.

They do get along but you have to get them as pups.

My son, who SHOULD be in bed asleep, just saw this and called it “Lio-thulu”. Of course, he also put a huge mouthful of ramen noodles in his mouth the other day and mumbled, “From the deep, I awaken. I am noodle-thulu!” His dad is a huge H.P. Lovecraft fan, and my boy is taking after him.

Babies are often rather rough-and-tumble in their play with their young pets. But most often, as with Lio and Ishy, they grow up as the best of friends!

@cutiepie29Very astute young man, your son. Lio does indeed look like a baby Cthulu..wings hidden from veiw, of course.

Maybe on the next page we’ll see where Lio got his mouth inked and Ishy can laugh too.

You’ve probably said that what now 20 times on different comics?

Miskatonic U. warded lot pass!

I can’t believe Lio did that when he was a baby.

Ishy would have inked his diaper with that move.

He’s always had good taste in friends.

My, my, Ishy. How you’ve grown.

Ishy looks like he is thinking about some payback.

Ishy has the same expression dad had yesterday.

The apple falls not far from the tree. Dad may SEEM normal, but who gives their baby a giant squid to play with?
