Lio by Mark Tatulli for June 04, 2012

Heck, it looked like sand to me, too.

Lio is just trying to cement his friendship.

Better get out of there, Liō, or your toosh will get stuck.

cement takes three days to fully set up.

Let the boy finish, Old Codger! It might make a vey interesting sidewalk!Go, Lio, budding Modern Architect!

Decades ago I worked in the now defunct shipyard. A new block was cemented at the head of one of the slipways. The contractor kept complaining about the number of cats that left paw prints in the cement. One evening we cut some cat ear shapes out of black DPC material and stuck them in the cement ready for him to find in the morning so he’d find what looked like the tips of a cat’s ears sticking out of the cement.

It’s as good as the beach.

Don’t pave it over, sir – think of them as speed bumps for pedestrians…

At least bullies won’t be able to kick it to pieces…

@Tog, good one!

I like the way you think Tog.

Uh oh! I think he’s going to be stuck now.

his knee pads look like Lio’s flight goggles.

It’ll keep the cyclists off the pavement.

is that the same creepy guy who was a plumber just a few days back?

So who pours concrete sidewalks with a bricklayer’s trowel and hawk?
