Lio by Mark Tatulli for December 20, 2024

That city probably has a bomb, illicit drug and Lio detection squad.

How didn’t she blow it up on the spot?

Lio, she’s calling you the bomb!

I was reminded of a similar setup in a Tom & Jerry cartoon, but the payoff in that one involved several pins and a saw.

Cut the green wire!

Aaaaaaccckk! His plan is about to backfire!

I can just see Lio popping up when the lid starts to move, getting licked all over the face, thinking he’s in puppy love heaven — until he realizes it’s a German Shepherd doing the licking.

I see Eva doesn’t speak in words either.

Well, the dog won’t smell explosives or drugs, so Lio still has a chance.

I do not normally like his infatuation strips, but today I did! You go girl!

Signed,

I had a stalker, it sucked even more than the worse you can imagine.
