Lio by Mark Tatulli for October 01, 2012

Maybe they have a climbing club?

I’m surprised the ceiling light is holding Lio’s weight.

Good thinking. No kid should be coerced into joining ANY sport.

Dad is well-intentioned, I’m sure. But he should allow Lio his own path of self-expression—something Dad should be used to by now!

can’t stay up there forever, Lio.

Dad, will you quit trying to get Lio in to sports so you can live vicariously through him? Gym class is bad enough!!

Good one Lio.

School sports=team sports, Team sports=herd member training. There was no “I” in team.

Sturdy light fixtures: The key to any good escape plan.

Actually, i’d like to see Lio get signed up

Imagine the possibilities for a story arc.

Try and find him now sir.

Leave him alone, Dad. You can’t force a kid to be a jock if he’s not interested. If you want to pressure your kids into extracurricular activities, how about music lessons? That will serve him far better later on in his life..

kid’s got the rope climbing thing from PE down pat.

Probably be funner if it was right side up below a comic strip

If he’s that good at the rope climb he can do anything

This is going to be my son’s martial-arts training partner in a couple of years. Her mother presently has her enrolled in no fewer than four different extracurricular activities …

ditch the sports idea. Sign Lio up for the robotics club.

Wow half way threw the day and they finally rotated the comic.

The image is squeezed in the email — and it seems so Lio-ish.
