Lio by Mark Tatulli for October 20, 2017

It’s to gourd him against muggers.

sure, Lio, let’s go with that

Dad could use General Halftrack’s signature comment here, I. e., “What now?”Or Dorothy Parker’s “What fresh hell is this?”

Looks like the pumpkin finally met his doom!

Lio looks gourd-eous… (um… lifted from today’s Jumble)

I actually feel sorta bad for that pumpkin. Poor thing has been trying to escape for days now.

I am one with the pumpkin.

Functional and stylish…well, not so much functional.

This looks like a toddler costume.

Is this from Tchaikovsky’s Dance of the Pumpkin-Spice Fairies?

This could be the new look for next season.

National Lampoon ran an Animal House story about wearing a pumpkin-needless to say it was not appropriate for those under 18 (really not appropriate for those over 18 either).

If I were a pumpkin, I’d go and try to vindicate that philosophical little kid with the security blanket in that famous legacy strip, Lio….
