Lio by Mark Tatulli for August 28, 2009

Underground water balloon launching site…

Lio seems like the last best hope of comic strips…

Water balloon silo! Inertial guidance system: successful! Target soaked!

…….ssssssssss!!!

Lol bigg3469 totally agree! xD

a skull… really?? Ya think? I dunno! He is rising out of what could be seen as symbolic of his grave to deliver the kill shot. The skull might water down the joke.

By the way… how do ya chunk a skull?

Is this Jimmie Hoffa?

thank you doghollar … LOL … is it that we are old or just know our stuff???

beguine, it was all cool until you said ‘fatso’. Can we let those words die?

i vote hoffa

Trapdoor spider… trapdoor Lio?

Thus the end of the ‘door-to-door’ salesman.

I love the second panel!

Ha-ha…On the rare occations anyone that smokes is in my car, when they ask if I mind them lighting up I just usually respond something to the like of “if you don’t mind me pushing you out of the car without slowing down.” (More fun when you’re on the Interstate)

yeah, i think lio and dog eat doug are the last great comic strips, calvin and hobbes, peanuts, and the far side are over, foxtrot is sundays only. keep going mark tatulli!

Vince, I agree–Lio’s watching eyes are a treat.

great shot lio. think that you could do it again?

Hahaha. His eyes in the 2nd panel are hilarious

Lio has pupils !!!!

Lio is hobophobic…looks like the bum peed hisself. Can’t be a bum, I guess, smoking a corona like that, now a $10 cigar with Obama’s new tobacco tax!!

What a great idea, Lio! I think I’ll try it and chuck my balloons at cars that drive down my street with their stereos so loud it rattles the windows. (And I can have my smoke in the hole while I’m waiting…)

Good one, Lio!!

I’m with you, Lio. Let me dig a hole for myself, and together we’ll clean up the world, one butt-sucker at a time.

A new species. The “Trap Door Lio” lunges out at unsuspecting smokers to douse them before being ridiculed.

good ‘ol fashioned american labor too, Lio is not afraid to get his hands dirty ! ! !

Only Lio.

Dear beguine=fatso

Thanks for proving that Dumbguys will always be with us……

Hope that guy isn’t part of Tony Soprano’s crew.

“Obama’s new tobacco tax”. Jeez. President Obama is no longer a legislator - regardless of his position on the bill, the legislation was passed in the senate, and in the house by a vote of 290-135 (and was sponsored by a large number of representatives). Obama SIGNED the bill. He agrees with it, yes, but Congress wrote it and passed it. Sorry, I know I shouldn’t give in, but this “silliness” is getting to me.

Hey Tigger - glad I’m not the only one who thinks the wet dude looks like Rush “Limburger”…

When I was Lios’ age we tossed water balloons from the cinema balcony.
