    Even a sturdy tower can be damaged by the determined and self-heedless assault of a Beach Bully. But he probably won’t be back for a second attempt!

    Very smart, Lio. You didn’t need Charles Atlas for that bully.

    Lio wasn’t protecting himself, or the castle.
    He was merely decorating the rock.

    Real good going, Lio! I bet the bully will think twice about kicking over other kids’ castles now!

    I once built a trap around my sand castle once, using some beach reeds (so that the surface looked like normal sand, but you’d fall thru if you stepped on it).

    Y’know, I seem to recall Linus pulling a simliar stunt on Lucy once; didn’t break her foot or anything, but it was the same basic principal

    Hahaha! I have to “laugh out loud” for this one…makes me miss my home (Hawaii)…

    JohnDiFool: Nice, I used to build random sand traps along the shore as well…I think I was a bad kid growing up. Oops!

    Some fun was had by techs who drew blood on kids and had chocolate pieces to give them. A doctor kept sweeping up most of them so the kids didn’t have enough. The techs filled the bowl with chocolate Ex-Lax (carefully giving the kids something else). I think it cured the doctor.

    So the joke is that the bully kicks the castle and makes it taller?

  20. SherlockWatson

    SherlockWatson said, 3 months ago

    No, the joke is that the bully kicked the castle and found out the hard way that there’s a rock inside it. You know, like when you build a snowman around a fire hydrant because you know someone is going to kick it over.

    I see Lio Knows the Three Laws of Real Estate - Location, Location, Location….

    Any judge that would find for the bully ought to have their @$$ thrown off the bench.

  23. Tigger

    Stupid Bully should have noticed the castel being built agaisnt a Rock.

    SherlockWatson, a fellow fan of Sergio Aragonés, I see… ;-)

    This gag is very similar to one that Sergio drew decades ago in a Mad Magazine margin. Bully kicks kid’s small snowman, only to find that it’s built around a fire hydrant.

  25. Furienna

    Yeah, that really served that bully right.

    heh heh, and the fact that Lio was looking at him like “what’s YOUR problem?!?” just priceless!!!!
