Lio by Mark Tatulli for August 30, 2010

The boy will make his fortune yet!

If he hasn’t already – I mean, how did he afford his inventory?

The class clown’s business.

Lio is such an entrepreneur! Clean out the unwanted franchise stuff, and at the same time clear a handsome profit! What a boy!

That sure beats selling lemonade!

Ah…yes, I remember it well…my young son and ‘the whoopie cushion’…loud rude sounds emanating from the nearby stairwell of a popular restaurant in Jasper, Alberta…at the height of the tourist season….oh, the shame of it all….and the hilarity…..

Am sure his teacher will have fond words to say about Lio to his dad…

Hey, experiments cost money.

Ewwww, plastic vomit.

My school days were filled with such treasures too!

Where is the stand? I need to restock my prop closet.

at least he’s found a positive way to cope with the impending opening of school…

Just what we need….a specialty stand. You can’t get those things at Office Depot.

Beats selling psychiatric advice too, Sheik.

But where are all his customers? They aughta be lined up around the block by now. In my old neighborhood, when I was a kid, Lio would have sold out in ten minutes

@zev.farkus: I’m glad to see Liō back in a good mood again too!

I have fond memories of rubber mice and the reactions of the unsuspecting teachers.

You always get the best deal, buying your novelty items by the pound.

Yeah, like I said the other day when Lio was weeping about the prospect of returning to school. “Think of how his teachers must feel.”

Where’s the fake dog poop?!

Should somebody give a quote about lemons and lemonade?

Bet he got the idea from the Weasley twins…

And don’t forget the tacks to put on chairs.
