Lio by Mark Tatulli for October 18, 2012

Too bad. It’s hard to say whether Lio feels more sorry for himself or for his pumpkin. But he does still have far to go in the art of pumpkin-carving.

Next time LIo.

True story – I won a pumpkin carving contest at work about 15 years ago because I made it look like one of my coworkers.

Looks like the eye holes on Lio’s pumpkin turned over. Making one that can move like that should have won.

My guess is the winner was Calvin – his designs, as disturbing as they always were, were also ingenious.

Yep – I think tomorrow we see her with the first prize award.

My bet is that he lost out to Eva Rose

The first panel needs a puffy cloud-like border… it looks like both these scenarios happened.

The banner says ‘pumpkin cutting’. Wouldn’t that mean emo pumpkins?

So much for the trophy Lio.

Just like the silver and bronze medals in the Olympics.

I think we’ve been set up here to expect Eva Rose to be the winner….therefore my money’s on the winner being Ishy with Dad as a second guess!

kid #2 has what we call a $**t-eatin’ grin.

he should waited in the pumpkin patch with Linus and carved up the Great Pumpkin. Just think of the brains leaking outta that head!

I love how the trophy is bigger than Lio!

I would have thought Lio would use a more edgy imaginative design
