Lio by Mark Tatulli for January 08, 2011

A sad ending to the tale…

Somebody forgot to look both ways. The driver apparently didn’t see the snow-monster walk onto the road either…

Calvin should call that guy up. (See today’s and the last few Calvin and Hobbes)

I wonder what Lio would have done if he had seen what was going on behind him?

Oh no!

He’ll be back.

“Frosty the snow man Had to hurry on his way, But he waved goodbye saying, “Don’t you cry, I’ll be back again some day.”

Sniiff. Sniff. I remember when my stinky ol big sister told me there was no such thing as Santa. Ruined last Christmas. This Christmas I discovered snow bunnies but my mean ol wife won’t let me touch them.

OT: Just got the book(s), and Mr. T made references to a LIO movie?!?!

All good things must come to an end.

Re Lio movie: See http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=38653

And this… but note the date!

Snow monster will live again as Puddle Man.

this is kinda sick

“See today’s and the last few Calvin and Hobbes.”

I don’t know if that was intentional on the part of Tatulli or not (a homage of sorts at worst). I’ll borrow a line from Hobbes, then: “A casualty of applied metaphysics.”

Mr. Plow strikes again!

^ That’s abominable!

I can’t believe it wasn’t a snowblower.

Aw. Too cute. Love the hug. The monster will be back to get his revenge on monster snow plow.

Would “Lio” be a silent movie?

My mailbox sympathizes.

Last I knew, Culkin was teen age chain smoking fodder for the tabloids. Earlier than the current crop of disasters with no cell phone pictures to haunt him. I think he’s now a “serious actor.” Which means his twenty something self pops up in “independent” films.

It seems like it would have been more in keeping with Lio’s character to have the dude stay in a deepfreezer in the garage.

I expect that this would be an animated movie. Kinda hard to imagine, either way. Has there ever been a Calvin & Hobbes movie?

Frosty said he’d be back again someday. Hope he does, too.

a boy and his snow demon…a cautionary tale.

jackdohany: Bill Watterson is legendary for his refusal to fully exploit “Calvin and Hobbes”, turning down millions that could have been made from merchandising over the years. I’m sure there were offers for TV specials and movies as well.

I’m not judging right and wrong, but I can certainly respect his decision to let Calvin and Hobbes stand alone as the comic strip.

WOW HOW SAD…

Will the movie be called “Silence of the Lio”?

At least it was quick.

Thumpity-thump-thump, thumpity-thump-thump, look at – AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHH!!!

I think that’s how Frosty The Snowman should have ended.
