Lio by Mark Tatulli for August 01, 2010

Well, he’s got the important things, Dad….

Lio’s taking some of his pets with him…

Dad sure is patient with Lio.

Golly, Dad, a little boy can’t remember to pack everything. –Besides, friends are more important than things!

You must be prepared at all times Lio! You may always have your friends, but you may not always have your Dad. You have an awesome Dad Lio!

Dad and Lio certainly won’t have to worry about anyone tailgating them on the way to the beach….lol

Details, details.

Good to know Dad’s got Lio’s back - or in this case his back side. Got to keep that covered.

Lio is a ‘unique’ boy in many ways, but in this, he is very typical!

Sorry Lio,we got banned from the nude beach after last time.

They have a classic woody, do they also have a Tiki bar? And I agree Doc, all he needs is a towel.

Why does he need two pairs of socks if he is getting flip-flops, and why does he need two pairs of underwear? What about sunscreen?

In panel 5, it looks like Dad is describing his entire wardrobe.

Dad is telling him to pack for a vacation, not just a day at the beach.

Isn’t that cute? Lio wears tightie whities!! I’m surprised they aren’t printed with monsters or spiders!!

I have to buy a new toothbrush every time I go on vacation because I always forget mine.

What are we missing—three marine critters (I assume the eyes in the middle are marine), in a still car, in the sun, HURRY LIO!! And don’t forget the nose clip.

The socks seem to make sense from Dad’s point of view. He always wears them with his sandles. Plus, it might get chilly in the evening.

I can see them getting banned from the nude beach if Mittens is part of the entourage!

he forgot Sybil!

Not sure the robot wants to go near salt water

i hope he didn’t forget his vampire bunny!
