Lio by Mark Tatulli for December 28, 2009

Good one, Dad, and Mittens!

I love Dad a little bit more every strip. Thanks Mark.

That was quite a scare there for Lio wasn’t it. I bet that got his heart to racing.

Look like Dad might have been into his Christmas present.

December Fool!! (coming up on the 28th in Latin America)

There’s a December prankster’s holiday in Latin America?

Good for Dad and Mittens (love his expression)! Lio gets away with lots of pranks; one on him is fair enough!

I bet mittens is the one who came up with it.

Haha, paybacks. Lio looks like his father in that second panel at those times.

They got Lio good!

Especially since Dad has tried to turn Lio vegetarian on at least one occasion.

And here I always wondered just where it was Lio got it from. Good one, Dad!

Poor dad. I foresee payback

Dia de inocentes in Colombia… something like April’s fool to you; and yes, lots of planks

That was amazing to see Mittens and Dad team up. Lio might need a defibrilator after that one. Hilarious.

I love Dad. That was awesome!

Dad, you just landed on Santa’s “naughty list” for next year! Now your son needs a clean pair of pants! LOL.

oh that’s MARVELOUS! reminds me of the time i saran wrapped the kitchen doorway and baked cookies then woke up my husband LOL not quite as extreme, but i can’t tell most of the pranks we playes on here LOL

right on!!!!

and thank you for the info about dia de inocents! i’ve added it to my calender. what’s the trickster Gods called down there? africa has spider america has coyote europe has puck and pan and loki what that one?

I see that Dad can be a trickster too–and that Mittens will co-conspire with him!

The old man’s catching on…

like son, like father….

Chalk another one up for Dad.

Dad got Lio back for the pranks he pulled!

great artwork, especially the expressions in panels 2 and 3. dad is really enjoying himself with this one.

proof once again that that the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree.

Dad’s finally catching on to the “if you can’t beat them…” philosophy.

Great face exression. Lio got strange Dad. Funny comic but reality is the cruelty of boiling live lobsters.

turnabouts fair play…indeed!

Revenge is a dish best served… steamed

Lio’s expression in panel 2 reminded me of Peanuts characters when anguished or surprised.

Hmmmm…. makes one wonder about what Julia Child would say about his lobster thermador?

Bet Lio’s face is as red as a steamed lobster.

Bit!

“THAT’s for the time your robot trashed out the living-room.”

Oh, Dad! Brilliant, brilliant! (And love the look on Mittens’ face; he was in on the joke.)

Tomorrow night: rubber calamari!

I bet Ishy would like to play too! Good one Dad!

lobster thermador? spamspamspamspamspammityspam!

Why does Mittens live in a huge doghouse outside?

draculadave: Where else would a domesticated lobster live??

Dad is slowly become more of a trickster than Lio.

Boom bomb dropped, “kaboom”
