Lio by Mark Tatulli for May 26, 2021

Don’t think Dad’ll go along with your plan, Lio.

Sorry Lio. But after the tooth fairy left the money, your vampire bunny killed it.

then once all of your grandmother’s teeth are used up, Lio, then what?

An idea that Lio can really sink his (false) teeth into!

JACKPOT!

a three pronged tooth! run for your lives!

According to the early versions of the story, if kids tried to trick the Tooth Fairy, she’d take them.

Buy them on eBay with the money?

Hopefully the teeth were all gold, but that is probably too much to hope.

So what is in the box marked: “Grandma’s New Stuff?”

Of course he’ll end up getting counterfeit money.

I remember when the tooth fairy visited me, I found a quarter… Not a complaint, just observing how inflation has changed since my childhood.

Oh no Lios teeth is starting to look like Eva’s teeth.

When the kids on my bus lose a tooth, I ask them how much the tooth fairy left them. Then I wave my fist in their face and say “Come ON! We can clean up! I’ll split it with you!” One girl got $20 from the tooth fairy! I asked her dad to adopt me!

Why would anybody save dentures from the dearly departed instead of burying them with them??
