Lio by Mark Tatulli for February 17, 2016

I don’t want to know either, Dad, what Lio just fwammed. (Nice onomatopoeia, Mark.)

Lio’s dad deserves a medal for bravery. Even his reading the paper in his own living room earns him a medal. I can see a Purple Heart in his future.

As long as Lio is still around, Dad, forget about the sailboat. All spare money will be going into home repairs and remodeling….Lio, once the fire is out, take a bath! You’re covered with soot and ash!

I learned early how to fix things as I tended to break them.

Lio’s a responsible kid. He puts out his own fires.

Fun with chemistry.

Better get the fire extinguisher recharged, too…

Sorry sir.

Another dream from dad goes up in smoke

Let’s face it, with Lio this is a somewhat recurring theme…

I wonder what Lio was experimenting with. I almost burnt the house down the other day too. I put a metal sponge in the microwave, and I didn’t expected it to catch fire so suddenly.
