Lio by Mark Tatulli for July 16, 2024

Hope is long gone, it’s very far away.

Will Eva-Rose deign to be your Beatrice? (Not that he got much more lucky than you are, Lio…)

Don’t think this is what Dante pictured but then again maybe.

Yeah… That’s not gonna stop Dad from poking his nose into your business!

The junk is pretty harmless. But the thing under the bed …

That bedroom is not circular. Format incompatible with signage. Please see your InfernoHOA manual and make the appropriate corrections.

I have that sign on my office door, but in the original Italian. Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch’intrate.

Ah. The child shows creativity in solving the problem of tidying his room.

Take your life in your hands if you entered the room of “stuff”

Where’s that pet giant squid? Put all those arms to some use.

Seems Yorick forgot something, after that playdate last week.

BUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hiya Happyx3! Hi Bunnicula! :)

So what? It looks like a normal kid’s room.

Nevertheless, ye enter…

When our daughter was a teenager we called her room the Midden. Now her daughters are both in high school and their rooms resemble hers when she was their age.

Can’t say that you weren’t warned…..

I have that sign leasing to the basement (in Italian).

Typical kid’s room. Atypical contents.

The company I work for has the same slogan

The sign doesn’t say Keep Out, it’s just a warning to anyone who might enter. It’s certainly much faster and easier than cleaning up!

Besides, it’s Dad’s house. A kid Lio’s age cannot tell a parent never to go in the room.
