Lio by Mark Tatulli for March 26, 2010

Cybil got ‘em!

Tender Vittles .. Gnome and liver surprise

Yay, Cybil! Good kitty! Very good kitty!

Undead bunnies?

Alright, one down and a few more to go. A cat worth keeping!

Wow, send her to stop the rodent rebellion!

It would be interesting if Cybil joined in the gnomes’ mischief. Like say –oh, I don’t know– water balloons!

It’s rare to see Cybil foing good thing to Lio for once.

Good kitty!

goody goody kitty………………..sensible she didn’t even ate them as a mice

Cybil tolerates no interlopers.

Good grief, you would think those Gnomes would be better armed with all their gadget making and all…must been the Traveling types Gnomes.

Gooood kitty!

Well, it IS a well known fact that gnomes often smell just like catnip.

Nothing can pick on Lio except Cybil.

Since Liv-a-Snaps are for dogs, Cyb will get her Liva elsewise

Hey, I think I could learn to like cats…well cartoon cats named Cybil, anyway.

Had our old tiger appear at the door one day with a still alive bird in his mouth, flailing like crazy. That would have REALLY been a good cartoon with a gnome. Send ‘em back to Alaska where they belong!!

good one, freeholder!

they filled Cybil’s litter box with quicksand, that’s why she got them. although, her litterbox has never been cleaner……

But unless they’re Undead Gnomes (possible?) you can’t tell them to go-home Gnomes now….

Gnomes, mice, dogs…getting the job done!!

i should take cybil to my friends house, they gave 5 or 6 gnomes around their house and they scare my 3 year old grandson when i take him there

Just make sure their dead! My cat got a chipmunk, brought it in limp as a dishrag, set it down to show me and gloat a bit, and the bleeep thing took off! Thing ended up toes up inside my couch…….. ( the horror )

“Hey, conehead boy, you struttin’ on MY turf?”

Now she’ll eat their heads off, leave the gut pile & throw everything right back up.

Cybil is doing what our cat does, brings his catch home to proudly display for his people. Way to get rid of pests, Cybil!

She just wants Lio to be proud of her. Kids are like that.

I have to admit I’m disappointed by this sudden ending: I expected Lio to pull some “revenge” pranks on the gnomes, and they would drag in his dad and Ishy and Eva and Cybil AND the new fish. (Since the gnomes seem to like water I could picture them scuba-diving in the aquarium, although that would be RISKY………) Any road, since the gnomes are magical creatures I’m hoping they’re merely playing possum and they’ll return someday. (Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the “Lio”……….)

Good kitty. Hamburger for you tonight.

This is the first time I read this cartoon and what it’s about. This particular strip reminds me of a cat I used to have, she’d hide things under the rug inside the front door.

Welcome aboard, twistedhumor, you’re going to LOVE “Lio”.

Cybil looks so pleased with herself.

Lio’s dad is going to be getting a call from Travelocity pretty quick.

Look at what the cat dragged in! Cybil’s proud, I’m sure…

That’s why you need cats. You never get gnomes with traps.

cybil’s into gnomencapture

Called it!

Great book, good cat. Problem is that the little hats don’t digest. If you thought cats horked up a lot with hairballs … well…

Mr. Tatulli, I must say THANK YOU, I look forward everyday to reading about LIO and his cast of characters. They never fail to put a smile on my face and I even have my husband hooked on LIO and we are no spring chickens we are both over 50 years old. May you have many, many more years of success.

Such a helpful little cat!

I had a cat who’d perch on my chest at 3AM with his new toy; “This thing’s fun. you want to play with it for a while?” I’d chase whatever down & put it out. He was right, it was fun. Mostly rodents & a few birds, gnomes must have been too tricky.

“TwistedHumor,” you need to go back to the last two Lio cartoons to understand what is going on. Also, the comments to these two strips had some prognosticators (prognomesticators) hinting at where this gnomic torment of poor Lio should end up.

Classic..love it. Paw on the gnome..dead or close to it. Super good kitty..go Cybil!

$ once cybil actually did something good! Yeah cybil! mighty gnome hunter.

Is Cybil actually being obedient ?
