Lio by Mark Tatulli for February 02, 2012

Oh my…. hope he can get his money back.

Clearly, the wand works …

Whoa, nice sleight of hand.

Lio, be careful with that wand around Dad and your pets.

Whoa. Something’s wrong. That actually was funny.

Lio is becoming such a man—didn’t bother to read the Instructions booklet first! Poof!

Many critics - pro & casual, need to realize, something can be entertaining w/o necessarily being “funny.” Comics have progressed way past the Katzenjammer Kids. POGO wasn’t always “funny.” Some ’toons are wry observations on what passes for real life.

Turn the wand around, Lio. I’m sure you can bring everything back with a FOOP!

Tsk, tsk, tsk, Lio. Lio, Lio. Haven’t you learn anything about magic? Is that when you make things disappear withi your wand, you make them re-appear again with your wand! That’s what I do! [Groan] Amateurs!

Lio, how about a little magic spell on Eva Rose?

Well what do you know. The old what can we do to increase sales conundrum solved. Or is it the how do we get repeat sales.

I always had the same problem with one of those Easy Bake kits..

That’s what you get for buying a magic set on Craigslist

Is a product still considered defective if it works too well?

Did you even try pointing at the spot to bring the supplies back?

I want that wand… soooo baaaad!

Wow, where is Kurt Godel when you need him.

Look under the bed, Lio.

Maybe I could borrow that and use it on my mortgage.

Lio, forget about the box of toys; you’ve got a wand that makes stuff disappear! Just think of the fun you can have at school!

check the wand for controlZ.

Nice.

And that’s how they sell more magic sets…

it worked :D
