Lio by Mark Tatulli for April 29, 2010

Aw, what a good dad…

He looks like he just lost his best friend. Only three minutes old, too.

(sniff) … I remember my first killbot … (sniff) … I still miss him … (sniff) …

A sad day for Lio (sniff)

There’ll be more…

He’s broken up about it.

^%$# parts from China !

Poor Lio! His buddy blew a gasket.

Poor Lio ! At least he has Dad & the menagerie for support.

Awww! Lio experiences a structural failure in his new friend. Sniff. –Good thing Good Dad is there for him!

Poor Lio. (sad now)

What is worse. A father failing in front of his son…or a son failing in front of his father? Heavy guilt in both equations.

Don’t worry Son. There will be more explosions in your life.

(sniff) poor lio

sniff

Poor Robot!

Well, there’s goes the Science Fair blue ribbon.

This is the day where dads get to shine – Calvin’s dad did Okay, too.

sniff At least Dad is there for comfort.

awww. lio’s expression in the third panel is just heartbreaking.

That has me down in the dumpster.

karma fro running over Lockhorn yesterday!

lio has such a great dad, always knows just what to do

I thought Lio loved explosions?

benbrilling: Only when he causes them deliberately.

I’ve said it before, Lio’s dad is awesome.

Also, Lio sighting! Check out today’s “The New Adventures of Queen Victoria”.

aw, i’m sad now. poor lio. it’s amazing how much you can love a comic character that when he has trouble, you feel so bad. guess that’s the mark of great writing.

Awww. But Dad, well done. :)

awwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Good thing Dad’s there :) <3

I completely agree with pinkdryad

You win the internets today.

another keeper – thanks mt

Old hairy-eared engineers know; you learn much more from failures than from successes. Plan to build one, break it, and build the next one using the lessons from the first.

Aww… and just to think, Lio was going to get him to kill off the Natzis. (sniff) well, at least he had the pleasure of creating him. And what a dad. So kind and caring… I bet his dad made a few ‘changes’ to his little bud.

Being a robot builder, I understand…

Poor Lio; he was hoping for a mushroom cloud.
