Lio by Mark Tatulli for June 17, 2020

Came up empty before deadline, Mr. Tatulli?

Too bad, I will have to go to the next comic.

I dig it!

I think the arrow needs to be more vertical on GoComics.

I think the punchline has been out on this strip for over a month now. I want to see something other than Covid related stuff. I am sick of Covid.

As long as repairs don’t take as long as the ones on streets and highways, I don’t mind…

Comics are supposed to be FUNNY; aren’t they?? Isn’t that why they’re called comics? I don’t know why the cartoonist always gets into serious sh . . !

Dig the hole deeper or dig yourself out of it. Take your pick.

“Look, it’s happening whether you like it or not”

or “wait ’til you see it in six weeks”

That was no octopus, that was my squid.

I luv Lio and get most of the humor, sorry you don’t

Ironically in some markets, the next strip over features a classic Pastis Pun in Pearls Before Swine.

Seems like we have to dig for the punchline.

Oh, man. Isn’t that always the way?

Is it the punchline to the old joke that starts “So there’s this kid walking his giant squid down the block….”?

I’m laughing already, okay?

This strip is actually quite creative Kudos!
