Lio by Mark Tatulli for December 01, 2013

Oops…

That’s worse than saying “I seem to be having tremendous difficulty with my lifestyle”.

Worst of all, it was the Chancellor Gorkon of the Bubble Wrap people. Now there’s no one left to negotiate peace!

Genocide! Lio will be on the Wanted lists of countless planets. Lesson: look before you leap, or stomp.

Snap and crackle come next.

Ooops. My bad about your captain.

First contact. . . not ‘meeting’

You have made us very angry…very angry INDEED.

“Please, earthling, we would all like the poppy-massage.”

WHOOPSIE!!!

Lio only meant to pop one or two but then everything sort of bubbled over.

The intergalactic war was averted by a giant gust of wind that swept up all the bubble wrap aliens and stuck them in a tree.

Huh, I always pictured aliens as looking more like foam peanuts.

Uh oh!

an entire sf story presented in four sub-panels. brilliant!jack and carole bender should take note.

Two thoughts:1) There goes our “Mostly harmless” rating…2) You’d think someone out there would have distributed an “avoid this kid” travelers’ advisory

Worse than potato chips. You can’t pop just one…

You killed our leader. Prepare to die.

Visions of the Edgar-suited alien in MIB 1 arriving at the morgue and disliking the morgue attendant swatting flies. REALLY disliking it.

Oh lord, it’s alive?! Or was… I think I’ll be just as glad not to see how this one wraps up.

Gary Larson would approve.

Oh, Belgium, man. Belgium!

Oh, dear…

hop on pop

Would this be evidence of Pop Culture?

I like popping bubble wrap too, but I had no idea it was a life form.
