Lio by Mark Tatulli for January 25, 2022

Just you wait, Lio, when you’re in an oven.

Don’t put kids in an oven like that! They’ll come out all stringy.

If that’s Hansel going in the oven, maybe Lio will have a shot at Gretel rather than try to get Eva, who’d rather shoot him.

Brought to you by Mrs. Lovett’s Meat Pies. “A bit of everyone in every bite.”

Is she baking a “weird kid”?

Uh. Why is there a strip celebrating killing and eating kids? This is twisted.

A Dahmler-TV syndication show….?

Is Lio crying or laughing?

Is the oven set to the right temp?

Y’all are missin’ Dad’s eyes: inferring that an oven might could be in Liõ’s future?

He’s laughing at a child being burned alive in a hot oven. That goes beyond “weird” to pschotic.

Don’t forget to baste every half hour.

Punctuation is important. The lack of apostrophe in the show title makes this very clear.

I’d watch that one.

Be sure to remove twine before serving.

Is the host of this program, by any chance, Grizelda the Ghastly Gourmet? https://frightenstein.com/characters/grizelda.html#:~:text=Grizelda%20is%20the%20castle%20witch,were%20not%20politically%20correct%20times).

She forgot to take off his shoes. That’ll leave a taste.

Don’t laugh. You could be next….

Well because the Food Network turned them down…..

Hansel and Gretel this ain’t!

I would like a slice of the rump roast.

Panel 2 made me laugh
