Lio by Mark Tatulli for June 22, 2009

Amazing what a wading pool can hide…

You never know what’s lurking at the bottom of a kid’s wading pool! I wonder how many neighborhood kids have gone “missing” lately?…

Someone needs to get the chlorine….

What the… ?

My daughter starts swimming lessons next week. I DON’T NEED THIS, TATULLI !!!!!

Amazing, a monster Lio is scared of!

well he bough it home… (in the June 23, 2006 strip X_x)

That’s quite the kiddy pool - kinda like Snoopy’s doghouse or Harry Potter’s tent.

A bit like a TARDIS… bigger on the inside than out.

I was thinking that it looked like a Frazetta picture, and then I noticed that M.Tatulli acknowledged it in the caption.

I love this strip and the uniqueness everyday… some strips get stuck on a storyline for WAY to long!

tardis?

i think the ph balance is a little off, get your chemistry kit lio

This is why you drain the kiddie pool once weekly.

Any one else feel kind of unsettled by the number of skulls at the bottom of the pool!

Yikes!

Lio is here in Florida?! This is where Creature of the Black lagoon was filmed. I often thought he might still be lurking off the coast, nibbling on tourist’s tootsies. An authority of FL filmaking - and an adult kindred spirit to Lio - check out the adventures of Serge Storm by Tim Dorsey. These are very adult books, with a twisted dark side. But Serge would definitely understand and appreciate Lio.

Lio has left the pool.

Ay-yiii! What’ll happen when summer ends and they EMPTY the pool?

Lio isn’t scared; he’s just going to get the tartar sauce. Snack time!

Maybe Lio’s pool is attached to “McElligots pool”……LOL

ALWAYS disinfect your child’s kiddie pool!!!

Thats what you get for diving too deep into pool that not suppose to be that deep!

ji2m

thanks

the michelin man’s EVIL TWIN!! BWAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!!

Love the tribute to Frazetta. I first saw this on Warren Publishing’s Eerie #3. I thought the monster looked familiar. Nice work as always, Mark.
