Lio by Mark Tatulli for September 09, 2017

I would hate to land in an unpleasant place there at the fair… blacksmith’s fire pit for example or the jousting field’s manure pile

Catapults are easier to draw, I suppose, but a trebuchet would have been cooler!

It looks like you’ll be launched straight into the crossbar. I want to see someone else use it first.

(Parachutes not included.)

I would bet anything that Mr. Tatulli looked up the spelling of “renaissance” — just to be sure.

You don’t want to land on a jouster when his lance is pointed straight up to acknowledge the king and queen before the joust proper begins……….

what an entrepreneur!

As chance would have it, I spent about an hour today helping to set up a trebuchet for next weekend’s Renaissance faire in Wrightstown, PA.

We finally get to meet one of Dill Weederkin’s brothers!

At Cul de Sac today we saw Petey reading a Lio book. Now we see Lio with a trebuchet, probably manufacted by Dill’s infamous brothers!

—When favorite strips cross over, even if unwittingly!

Between this and scalping tickets that most football stadiums do, I think I would pick this.
