Lio by Mark Tatulli for January 15, 2010

Let dad in with the groceries, will you?

Is Lio’s Snowguardsman mobile and flexible? “It’s alive”?

Hey, Dad’s on our side!

This smacks of Calvin…. love it! xD

Hey, Snowguardsman’s frown got bigger once he was stationed at the door! Check it out! xD

What are you waiting for Dad? Spring?

Bar Snowball’eons at the gate!

Lio must have known Dad was buying broccoli.

None shall pass.

This is about the lobster prank again, isn’t it, Lio?

Cool.

Hey, dad! go get the snow blower that’ll put a smile on the gurdsman’s snowy face (snickers)

wish me luck everyone! i do the home health care assessment at 9am (1 1/2 hrs or so) i’ve been trying to get into this program for MONTHS!!!!!

Open wings… Here we go again - someone does a snowman gaga and it’s got to be about Calvin and Hobbes. I wonder if when Watterson started drawing his strip about a kid and his pet, if people said, “Boy, this smacks of Charlie Brown and Snoopy?” That wold have gotten old for Watterson.

Knowing Lio, that snowman will come to life in about five seconds.

See if the back gate is unguarded.

Yup, try the back door.

I love this one.

@ Open Wings & Ear Droppings (eww!):

Hey, who needs Calvin to make snowmen when we got Lio?

maybe dad could offer the snowguardsman a hostess snowball, who can resist those ?

Speak, friend, and enter.

@lafantom - good luck!

today’s password is ?

Gonna raise my allowance now dad?

As the Wizard Gandalf once remarked, “You shall not pass!” Sometimes I WONDER about Lio’s choice of reading…..also his choice of pets and inventions and crushes and so forth.

ear, calvin’s snowmen could whip Lio’s snowmen (chainsaws etc vs a sissy spear), but I believe Lio has more backup!

dad’s gotta be mad, he JUST shoveled the sidewalk!!@%#*%&^

The spear goes on one way, but the snowman shifts it to the other arm himself?

Can anyone think of a good pun involving “warm welcome” or “cold reception”?

sherlock, what about an icy stare?

not a ‘warm welcome!

YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!

Dad would be singing right before he saw the snowman”Frosty the snowman! Was a jolly happy soul-uh… I guess he isn’t at OUR house.”

None shall pass.

Thanks, now I have Monty Python Running through my head! ( I guess somethin’s gotta’ be taking up the empty space…)

Ah, a good reference to Calvin and Hobbes bravo Mark

Oh lighten up eardroppings! Lio is comic brilliance in its own right, and so is C&H. My comment was not meant to take anything away from either strip. I’m sorry you couldn’t see that >:o|

At least it’s a snow spear. Imagine the other things Lio could have chosen! shudder

Primitive…….. He should have a gun.
