Lio by Mark Tatulli for February 22, 2010

lio is crazy

Granma’s no prize either….

I never knew George was such a card.

What a dear, sweet Granma!

Lio genes must be mostly from Granma’s side of the family.

Gosh! Have we ever met Granma? Her side of the family clearly has contributed to Lio’s genes!

EDIT: [And then I read ♠Lonewolf’s♠ post….]

Anyone remember the trick with a “bobby pin”, a rubber band and a button?

It definitely runs in the family.

That would scare me to death. Amazing how Lio’s mostly retained his composure.

What a Granny!!!!!!!!!!!!!

love the lamp lio’s using

Lamp? I thought that was another one of his pets.

This isn’t the first time Lio’s received a card / gift from Granma. She definitely understands Lio.

Mark Cards, when you care enough to send the very best!

(Where can I purchase some of those?)

I can relate. When I was 8 or so, my grandmother introduced me to Godzilla movies.

wndrwrthg - I remember what you’re talking about. My hubby liked to pull a similar stunt using a co-worker’s desk drawer. I’d forgotten about the prank you mentioned. I just might have to pull that one on my kids on April Fool’s Day this year.

lios grandmother is awesome, she does things like my grandpa did

wndrwrthg, i do — we said it was rattle snake eggs

Must be his maternal grandma.

OK, now I have to know - what’s the trick with the bobby pin, the rubber band and the button?

Lio’s grandma is the best!

Wow Lio’s granma Rocks! But I think the genes that make lio so special must have missed the generation with lio’s dad

Maybe Granma is his Mother’s mom. I would be that kind of Granma, if I had any grandkids, sigh….

kfaatz925 try this link — it is kinda fun

How did Granma pack herself inside a card?

Traits always seem to skip a generation…

SherlockWatson that’s supposed to be George Washington, I believe.

@R_Noonan63:

Actually, Mark’s right on time - today (22 Feb) is GW’s BD.

The “third Monday of February” stuff is the result of the politicians deciding to mash together Lincoln’s BD (12 Feb) with GW’s (they did this, what, thirty years ago?).

We get one less day off, but it always makes for a long weekend, plus it’s less vexing to the “stars and bars” crowd…

wndrwrthg said, about 8 hours ago Anyone remember the trick with a “bobby pin”, a rubber band and a button?

Oo Oo I do I do

Hey, this strip reminds me of a short story by Bently Little called ‘The Washingtonians’ in his short story book ‘The Collection’.

Gramma tought me to love hockey, & Sherlock Holmes (Basil Rathbone). She tought Sunday school for 65 years.

How did she know?

Great card trick! Lio’s Granma rocks!

A very poor representation of the real George. He wore wooden false teeth and the type of white wig that aristocrats wore.

By George, these new pop-out cards can take your breath away! –Especially if they include sound.

I remember getting Lincoln’s and Washington’s birthdays off from school shortly after Valentines Day. I lived in Chicago, and it was a nice mid winter treat before the long slog to summer. I miss those days. Now I don’t even get president’s day off. I’m usually busier, in fact.

Love me some Lio though.

AWESOME NOT UR BIRTHDAY PRESENT!!!
