Lio by Mark Tatulli for September 23, 2010

Uh-oh…

Turnabout is fair (if sometimes gory) play.

Must be Sadie Hawkins day. Man hunting season.

Someone’s Gonna get what’s coming to them.

Splendid trap, Lio. How many hunters’ heads hang in your trophy room?

In the 3rd panel, the hunter/NRA member has a heart attack.

Once again we preserve the right to arm bears.

A Potemkin trap…

Yeah….. what kinda caliber gun ya wanna use? ……… …….. to be used on you, Mr. Hunter Sir!!!

Wow! How he not notice that fake store front? Must been convince set. Hope they able disguise/hide where they put the body just as well.

Looks like he just soiled himself.

Bear season! HUNTER SEASON! Bear season! HUNTER SEASON!

Hunters use decoys, Lio uses decoys. Fair’s fair.

Ya gotta love the look on psycho rabbit…and that psycho bird looks exceedingly dangerous….Lio’s consternation is palpable but that bear is merely …the ENFORCER……

The rabbit looks like the Killer Rabbit from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Anyone else think so?

Quick, pretend you just came in to ask for directions.

Very opaque windows

@Sheik - very nice, though I’m not sure he needs arming!

Great one, Mark!

Uh oh, it looks like the sign could say Hunter’s going to Heaven.

Heads up - Lio makes cameo on Soup to Nutz today

Can anyone tell me how Lio is pronounced… [ly-oh] or [lee-oh] ?

Now are you going to tell me that pitting my skill and brain (and $1200 worth of gear) against a native 7” brook trout isn’t sport and adventure?

On the serious side, my fishing gear taxes, licence and fees paid a lot more to preserve that trout stream than any politician. And you know I will leave the wild like I found it, or better. What does sportsman or conservative mean to you?

That is what you would call a hunter blind…

No sympathy for a hunter who gets killed while out hunting - after all, if hunting is a “sport” …that simply means the hunter LOST, right??

Lioi’s created a new version of “To Catch a Predator.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hunting just for food is one thing, vanpelt, and being like Uncle Jimbo from “South Park” is quite another; this guy looks like a Jimbo to me.

Of course he does, SherlockWatson. Have you ever seen a hunter portrayed otherwise? Personally, I’m getting a bit tired of this over-the-top stereotype.

Yeah, what we need are more kind and thoughtful hunters portrayed in cartoons!

I agree with secretasianman1270 the hunter lost!

Mr. Tatulli, you have a great strip and I love the Dick Tracy avatar.

I believe there’s a place for all God’s creatures,(right next to the mashed potatoes and gravy).

I guess it’s not wabbit season…

Looks like it’s a hunter-slapping bear instead of a fish-slapping bear…Good strip…

This is why we need to support the right to arm bears.

It is just a comic. I hunt and found it funny. Kind and thoughtful hunters? I believe the hunter is hoping for a kind and thoughtful bear.

(..in my best Sam Elliot voice)

“Hunter: it’s what’s for dinner”.

Reminds me of the story about the atheist hunter.

@Me_Again,

The rabbit’s going to pounce. “Look at those teeth!”

haha wheres the turtle
