This was like a Bradbury story from October Country. Can’t recall the name. Man crawls inside and eats up a persons skeleton. Man, this kid reminds me of my youth.

Wow. My vote for the most visually disturbing Lio strip thus far! I like it. Great job as always Mark.
A skeleton walks into a bar and says, I’ll have a beer and a sponge.

His skin looks like a cross between a Dali painting and “The Scream” by Edvard Munch

I used to employ a running gag about “taking your skin off at night before you go to bed”; Lio has lived it! Excellent!

Definitely Disturbing!

Cleanliness is MORE than skin deep.

But it’s his skin that gets dirty.

Kinda nasty, but nothing unexpected for Lio. Love this little guy! Now how about Lio’s Dad, does he shed his body too?

Isn’t skin a “dry-clean only” item?

I want to know what he did with all the internal organs? Are they all already in the dishwasher?

Only that still doesn’t end that statement of kids saying: “why should I take a bath? I’m only going to get dirty again!

So, is Lio comfortable in his own skin?

Here’s proof that this strip is sicker than I thought! Cool!

SO that’s how he does it! Today’s strip is pretty awesome. BOTH teenagers gave it a thumbs up and a “pretty wicked”

Are you kidding me? SPONGEBOB is routinely much more graphic than this!

Doctor Toon: What if he did that, and it shrank?

MOST. DISTURBING. LIO. EVER. (And I have every confidence that Mark can top this one, and hopefully very soon……..)

I wonder that when you’re washing your skeleton, does the soap sting when in the eye sockets?
Yo me pregunto que cuándo usted está lavándose el esqueleto, ¿el jabón le da dolor en las órbitas oculares?

Brilliant??? Am I the only one who recalls that Bill Watterson drew a similar strip roughly 20 years ago?

@junebugmom I remember, now that you mention it…

Sure glad skin is water-washable (considering the alternative!)

That’s it, Mark! Show those few remaining newspapers what Lio can really do! (And no, I’m not slamming Mark, just the cowardly newspaper editors)

Oh, MAN, this is disturbing. I’m adding it to my favorites! :D
