Lio by Mark Tatulli for May 30, 2020

Lio doesn’t have much earwax, does he?

In one ear, out the other?

Disturbing but it will probably clear a Twitter fact check, unlike other things, Mr Z said it is not a concern on his Facebook.

(sees being in the first four panels of the cartoon; wonders about its identity)

I really, really,really hope that this doesn’t give some but job conspiracy theorists any bad ideas…

Ear infection related to COVID-19???

Remember, the masks provide minimal protection to the wearer anyway. They are primarily to protect others. Ears don’t emit; so even if you have the virus in the mucus membranes of your sinuses, and it has access to the ear through tubes or a ruptured ear drum, there is still little risk of spreading that way.

Hey Lio! You’ve been exposed to that virus so many times in the last few weeks, either you’ve had it, or you’re immune!

Hey Mark- How about some OTHER topic for humor?! These weren’t that funny to sy=tart with, and now it’s just tired.

Coronavirus A: “Are Americans really that stupid?”

Coronavirus B (laughing): “That’s rhetorical, right? Hey, we went from ‘close to zero’ in February to 102,000 dead before the end of May. And they’re still saying we’re no worse than the common flu!”

I have heard that the disease can affect the brain….

I love and respect the bravery of making fun of a serious topic-thanks Mr. Tatulli, and ’Don’t let the Bastards get you down."

’Ear today; gone tomorrow…

The local source I have found for face masks also sells face shields ( the big plastic or plastic-like coverings for the full face, kinda like a welder’s mask). So far, no ear plugs, though.

Please, tell us the corona ain’t so crafty!
