Three clowns and only one pie. Probably not intended to target each other. By the evil looks on their faces, I’m guessing the boy bringing the pie is also the target.
Maybe something about how gaping Lio’s hunger-inspired open mouth is in the first panel, and he’s proud of that, but is then brought down by realizing clown mouths are, all the time, naturally even bigger? That’s not exactly a joke, but this is LIO, where a lot of jokes . . . aren’t. (Just throwing the idea out; I don’t really believe in it.)
Why is the pie steaming? You only throw cream pies at clowns. Maybe that’s why Lio looks so nonplussed – he has the perfect target but the wrong ammunition.
Chak – I believe the 3 Stooges were involved in pie fights that used a number of different flavors. I seem to recall Curly wiping some pie off his face, tasting it, and exclaiming something like, “Oh, blueberry.”

These three look more like the Killer Klowns from Outer Space.

I think Liō is debating whether to serve them slices, or to deliver the whole pie directly to a target that is so big that it would be hard to miss.

Why is the pie steaming? I presume it’s fresh from the oven.

Shrug, that’s a normal Lio smile; no hunger involved.

Bob, as I read that I clearly heard “Oh, blueberry!” in my head and saw the silly grin. hehe
That said, it still shouldn’t be steaming.
