Lio by Mark Tatulli for November 26, 2010

Poor Dad, Thanksgiving has been kind of a bust for him this year.

I think Lio has gone over the top with this effort….dad could have had a heart attack. Lio needs a little come-uppance here.

What if Lio had been twins?

Somebody’s gonna get coal in their stocking in four weeks!

I’m going to laugh till’ my sides hurt.

Oh, Dad, poor Dad, Lio’s punked you with the pie and I’m feeling so sad!

Vengeance is mine, sayeth the father….

Since I’m a new-ish Lio convert - any guesses as to where mom is?

@Baslim the Begger. Sniff…

@LadyFingers86. It’s not hovering, it’s stuck in the top of the panel.

The kid just never learns. Remember what happened when he tried the same gag, just before Hallowe’en?

This must be a left over from Halloween.

VistaBill said, What if Lio had been twins?

I am thinking if Lio had a twin he would be the exact opposite.

So THAT”S what you do with leftover Jack O’ Lanterns! I always wondered….

Lio, you are going to get a major payback. Practical jokers ALWAYS pay…some time…some place…

2 Lio’s would be a scary thought. Be thankful there’s only one.

It reminds me of whats left after the school play from “Legends of Sleepy Hollow.”

payback time dad!

@ baslimthebegger - tyvm! and it was touching.

But just as I was getting choked up, I thought: that’s the “where.” What about the “how?” Sorry, Lio. You do have a rep….

There’s something very Spy vs. Spy about this one, especially their expressions and poses in the last panel. Good stuff.

Hilarious, but there must be some sort of pocket dimension within that pie. Otherwise I just don’t see how the pie could fit a Jack O’ Lantern that is bigger than the thickness of the box and table combined.

Jukeofurl….Lio’s mom passed away. Lio and Dad went to the cemetery to visit her marker.

That pie must have come from Mary Poppins’ Bakery.

Because of work, I had to spend Thanksgiving alone, and Golden Corral was out of pumpkin pie!

Hello Mark, Thanks for the REAL Laugh-Out-Loud laugh !!! I read the comics everyday and am jaded for doing it, and they come few and far between anymore!

Teenaged rebellion has come a wee bit early for Lio!
