Lio by Mark Tatulli for December 15, 2010

I thought Lio would be too nice to use a whip

They will be OK as long as he doesn’t use a lighter….

I think Lio needs help with spelling. LIVE should be EVIL.

Are they hungry too?

Why am I thinking about Charlie Brown and kites?

Would definitely keep little hands away from the presents before it was time to open them (if anyone could get near the tree to put them under)

O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum. How lovely are your branches!

Lio seems to have learned that killing the customers is bad for business. Now, if only he could convince the trees…

Not enough fertilizer as saplings……. now they’re ravenous for “blood and bone”.

Oh no, “blood and bone” is a New Zealand product only ….. well there goes that one.

This should thin out the tree hugging herd.

All sorts of Christmas tree critters coming out of the woods this year…

I’M SURE ITS BARK IS WORSE THAN ITS BITE

Kringus returns!

Fir trees Lio, not Fur trees…

Vigoro tree fertilizer must have mutated their limbs.

We wrap gifts to put under the tree. Now we find that trees wrap kids to flail around. Oh what fun we have…!

Hmmm, Christmas trees? I wonder if “pschearer” will amuse us again today..

I’ve never liked plastic Christmas trees, but this might change my mind…

Distant cousins of Treebeard I imagine. And hungry too, by the looks of it.

ahhhh…Festivus!

♪♫ Oh bitey tree, oh bitey tree… ♪♫

Careful decorating the triffids.

I don’t think he will sell many at this rate….

“Feeeeeed me, Seymour!”

Bad trees, bad trees!

Before becoming the Philidelphia Flyers mascot, Gritty tried his hand as Santa’s little helper…

I’ll take two. Please deliver them to the elementary school down the block from me.
