Lio by Mark Tatulli for November 20, 2015

Almost like Calvinball, isn’t it?

GOOOOOooooooooaaaall !!!

I read this comic way too fast and didn’t know why Lio wasn’t prancing around like that. Then I reread the strip and went “oh”

Hey, and it’s a touchrun or a homedown, …or something.

Let’s try to get on the same page, guys….

And it’s 30-Love

Try acting out a game of ultimate (frisbee) or perhaps archery biathlon.

Who knew that Lio was like Deon and Vincent (Bo)?

That was a slam dunk! (Or was it a slap shot?)

My feelings about ball sports exactly.

Sadly, that’s probably the only way he could hit a ball with that sort of bat. Nice that he converts sports to his way of playing.

Calvinball: the next generation

Sorry sir.

It looks like a pop fly into the end zone. Checkmate!

Calvinball is now in play!

F’ed up as a football bat.

why would lio’s dad expect him to play conventionally?

We actually would do that when we were kids. It was kind of fun at the time. We’d also shoot basketball with the football. Of course you couldn’t dribble it at all!

SPORTBALL! Lio is sportsing pretty hard.
