Lio, expect Bill Bellichick to give you a call–I’m sure he’d like to sign Ishy for the Patriots. Ishy can play man-on-man or zone defense equally well, and at the same time LOL!
The last panel is a no-look lateral to whomever the quarterback was that threw him the pass in the first panel. I think Lio put the book down and teamed up with Dad against Ishy.

What team wouldn’t want a player like that!

The “Cover 8” defense.
BTW, love how Lio’s helmet has a cutout for his cowlick!

Lio! Never give up! Never! Make your opponent make the tackle! He might get tripped up by his own tentacles!

Love how the helmet have a hole for the cowlick to poke through XD

Lio’s cowlick: I’m guessing Mark Tatulli was influenced by Ed Grimley (Martin Short character).

There’s no Lio without the cowlick.

Ishmael looks hungry. Lio’s just going to feed his pet and then TOUCHDOWN!

Ishy would get called for holding on every play.

Strange for a boy who was using the football for a pillow yesterday.

So who threw/kicked the football to Lio?
sensrule92, you’re not from Ottawa by any chance, are you?

Ishy could play the front four all by himself.
I’d hate to be the ref at that game tho’.

I bet Ishy can intercept passes like nobody’s business! And if he has the ball, he’ll never drop it.

I haven’t checked the rule book lately – are suction cups allowed??

Cue image of 8 blitzers haplessly stuck on Ishy’s waving arms…

Wasn’t there a Calvin strip vaguely similar to this, with Hobbes subsitituted for Ishy?

Lio quick, call a timeout, for the day that is

I wonder if they’ll be recruited by Miskatonic University on a football scholarship… Go ‘Pods!

Lio is that rarest of people who knows the difference between boldness and stupidity. Good for you, Lio.
