Browsing the funny pages this week, I see some hope that cephalopods will eventually displace talking cats from their preeminent spot in the comic pantheon.
I think this one has to be for Chris…

Apologies if you're already aware of him, but check out Tako at 8legged.com. Not only is he a cartoon octopus, but he hosts his own cooking show too.

Maybe it's a sign of age, but the top picture fills me with nostalgia for old video games. Do I get to shoot at the squids like space invaders?

The third strip is "Lio," by Mark Tatulli -- a little kid in a darkly surreal silent world. Neat stuff, I'd never heard of him before. Thanks for the link!
Here's more goodies and a link to an interview:

Yeah, I'm really liking Lio -- that's my world, I think.

The Grim Reaper/Life game comic is funny, but the same take-off on Ingmar Bergman was already done in in Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey.

The Lio strip is brand new and began its run just last month. In the initial publicity, much was made of the absence of dialog, meaning that Lio would be accessible to everyone. I think they promised a bit too much, since Lio does require a certain amount of reading. And here's an installment with actual dialog (spoken by Lucy Van Pelt!): Contextual comics.

I guess the encephalopods
Have their own ineffable gods
The octopus thinks
Of what? It's a sphinx,
A riddle to landlubbing sods.
