Lio has a touch of Calvin in him…
Beautiful drawings today.

I don’t blame Mark at all if he is…I love Thomas Kinkade’s artistic works….lovely old-fashioned scenes, soft lights….lighthouses, big ole yellow houses….sob……

Thom even created some beautiful angels dressed in blue….and, for some reason, that bright star in the first panel almost resembles Kinkade’s lantern mark which is in the corners of many of his works on his website….a trademark, I ’spose.

Thanks, Mark….your artistic abiliity has created a lovable Lio …and Heart…who are just as memorable as as Thom’s works…only in a different way. The world mourns with you.

At least Pinoc’s going to school early. (Tatulli did an amazing job of making the Blue Fairy just like Disney did.)

So, Pinocchio thought that being gifted with real boy-hood would make his life happier? Lio is not that easy, blockhead!

@Sisyphos

Well Pinocchio DOES translate into English as, "Pine-Head.’

Is Mark on vacation? I hope it won’t be repeating long.

If this is a tribute to Thomas Kinkade’s passing…. and if Mark did this weeks or months ago like most Sunday comics …..
then did Mark have a hand in Kinkade’s passing? Is he aiming to become the new “Painter of Light”? If so, I think we’ll be seeing things in a whole new light!!

Lio’s fondest wish: a young friend/cheap labor.
