as if, Dad

This is a reprint of a strip from a looong time ago.

Clothes included. Good thinking, Lio.

Lio should definitely play Little League now. Nobody will be able to find his strike zone or tag him out.

Its okay Lio, if you are not any good they will stick you in right field for 3 innings where you will not get any balls hit your way and only have to bat one time in the 9 hole unless you are playing Tee-Ball when you actually get to be the pitcher sometimes instead of the right fielder.

Stealing base should be a cinch!

Do,parents, fathers especially, really force their kids into playing sports. In our family Dad never forced us to sign up for sports and we ended up playing them because we wanted to do. I played rugby union (very badly) for our local team, ran for the county twice on long distance events, played cricket (terribly) as a kid. My brother played soccer and was excellent for at least two teams until a road accident brought that to an end, another brother raced motorcycles and my sister played hockey. Best to let the youngsters find out for themselves if they want to play sports.

As long as he has the formula to become visible again…

Boy, he reeeally doesn’t want to play baseball, does he?

Dot’s all folks. I wonder if Dad will see through his scheme.

Just in time, Lio. Time to go see how Eva is doing.

There’s an easier way. Tie a really nice bow tie and smile a beautiful smile.

I don’t care that it is an old one.
