Lio by Mark Tatulli for January 05, 2012

Woo, got him a hot blonde!

dad’s getting lucky today

Dad will REALLY like his birthday present.

This is the first time that I have seen Lio being nice to Dad.

Not so sure. After all she is about 81 years old. But on the good side, she must have some good genes.

She is just there to cater the party

I think daddy would have liked Aun Fritzi better!!!

Ooops…….Aunt Fritzi

Throw her back, Lio. That broad’s gotta be pushing 80.

Lio your fishing in the wrong strip.

Lucky he didn’t catch Broom Hilda!!! (Although Lio would love to have a witch for a step-mother!)

How about Yenny? No, she’s too young.

Dad would have a better shot with Lila. Apparently everyone does.

Resurrected from the deep like The Nautilus herself!

At least it wasn’t Mary Worth. Hey, is Brenda Starr available?

Aunt Fritzi would have been my choice. Or Luann DeGroot and her pal Bernice. What? Yes, they’re both teens in the strip but chronologically in their mid-20s!

Just DON’T give him Drusilla

I’m thinking a guy who goes around in a wifebeater, boxers, and socks all day is beneath even Lila’s standards.

Dad would probably like Brandy from Liberty Meadows more.

Yeah — go hook Lila instead!

Maybe somebody from “Pibgorn.”

Yea, he shoulda hooked Edda, or Juliette if he’s into married women.

I guess Lio’s Dad and Heart’s Mom is too obvious.

Don’t cha know that you do not age in the comics??? Blondie is not 80 yrs, her drawing person is that age ! The married part is open to his Dad, to decide upon….up to adults to know the rights to do…

Hey it’s Blondie

Mark Tatulli: Nice One.

Women as property. Not funny.

I think she’s showing her flapper youth—notice garter.

Hey it’s Blondie!

Should’ve been casting for Cookie!

such a good, GOOD son…

Reminds me of the “Dagwood Sandwich” strip which lives in an honored place on my refrigerator.

Happy Birthday Mark

In my paper, Blondie was a couple of strips underneath Lio, and was wearing boots. I drew an arrow pointing up from the Blondie strip and sketched her boots falling off.. showed it to my dad, who is a big Blondie fan, and got a good laugh!

This made me laugh harder than anything in a few weeks!

In the comics universe characters never age, so Blondie is still only 30 years old.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA(Can’t believe you got away with this one!)

I want to know what he’s using for bait?

I think Dad might like Dagwood’s sandwich better

He must be a really good fisherman.

I remember a wife-swapping party in Mad magazine (honest!) where Blondie went home with Lil’ Abner!

Giggity!!

Not the best thing to get Dad!
