Lio by Mark Tatulli for October 14, 2011

Hope it’s not Cybil in there… ;-)

I thought Lio made a Christmas tree with the leaves! It’s Rocketship X-M!

Well, it’s too tall to jump in, so why not?

If that’s Lio in the suit, then the leaves are gone.If that’s Cybil in the suit, then the leaves and the house are gone.

Napalm those leaves! Burn them fast and thoroughly, Lio! When, as a kid, I burned leaves after raking my uncle’s big yard, we just used matches. The smell of leaves burning by the curbside in the fall was a delight that for today’s youth (except for Lio) is forbidden.

Burn mofo burn!

I hear they’re trying to ban leaf blowers in California. Maybe this is why.

I too, miss the smell of burning leaves in the fall. Now they call it “air polution”. So sad what this world is coming to.

Now dad is freaked out!

Lio that looks like so much fun!!

Awe-some.

This complements today’s Calvin & Hobbes rather nicely.

I actually bought a blowtorch last year from Home Depot for weeds. Might give it a try on my neighbors leaves.

Ah, Leopold loaned Lio one of his Flamethrowers

Looks like this job will be well done… as will anyone who stands too close.÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷Lio: “Mind if I smoke?”
