Lio by Mark Tatulli for September 21, 2014

Not even if it’s Rap?

In Lio’s defense, they WERE playing Red Hot Chili Peppers …

This is what you punish Lio for, Dad? Some things are just necessary.

Just because the shock wave would take out both houses Dad has a problem.

I trust that missile is not nuclear-tipped, young man! It’s okay to take out the obnoxiously noisy neighbors, but we don’t want any fallout to harm our cottage, do we, son?

In the NEXT panel, Mark Tatulli is the one standing at a blackboard:

“I will not rip off The Simpsons”“I will not rip off The Simpsons”“I will not rip off The Simpsons”“I will not rip off The Simpsons”“I will not rip off The Simpsons”“I will not rip off The Simpsons”

I will aim and SHOOT this rocket!!

…not even at Yoko Ono?…

That’s not music, that’s noise…

there has been times that I’ve wanted to do that!

Lio got busted!

How about a compromise? Let him aim a laser at the 4-wheel Boomboxes? ;)

I always wanted to invent a small missile that homes in on a base beat, and the warhead is a capacitor charged to 1000 amps. Fry the systems, and great for chasing down vehicles.

What happened to Fat Man from earlier?

“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”. If you’re close enough the music is in your eye, you’re way to close to the band.

Why not?

Why not?

I think it’s interesting how Leo has his control assembly plugged into a household outlet!.Fire when ready, Leo…

There’s no kill like overkill.

“And where do you think “The Simpsons” got it? From schools of course, a common punishment.”.Exactly! This gag has been around since way before anyone had even heard of “The Simpsons.”

Well, duh! At that range, you use a mortar or just lob some grenades. That thing won’t even arm before it hits.

The basic idea, yes…but making the blackboard slogans bizarre ones was strictly Groening’s turf

I was gonna say … I’m having a “Simpsons” moment here.

Oh no, dad, you’re wrong on this one!

I sure hope Cheryl Pifer doesn’t read this cartoon…
