Lio by Mark Tatulli for January 16, 2019

Dammit. Just the other day I asked for “No politics in Lio, please”. It seems Mark Tatulli doesn’t share my sentiments.

Poop.

It’s a good thing giant cephalopods can’t read.

OMG! Baldo and his family could be deported.

Time to build a wall around this strip ?

Build a wall around Mar-a-Lago.

Just goes to show how stupid the reality of this situation is!

Shouldn’t that text be fake Spanish instead of fake Latin?

Gotta like Lio’s love of diversity!

I read the comics to Get Away from the all the politics and bad news!!

I really like that today’s Lio addressed present day social issues. Comics have served to spread public awareness, to open people’s eyes graphically, for over a century. Lio isn’t known to be a political cartoon, but this was a nice touch. Kudos

I would like to see Lio wandering around in the news section.

Break the barriers between us, bridges not walls.

if mr tatulli wants to support a few families so that they can come in legally, the I’m pretty sure Lio will find an opening in that wall.

MS St. Louis was a German ocean liner known for carrying more than 900 Jewish refugees from Germany in 1939. Originally intending to debark in Cuba, they were denied permission to land. The captain, Gustav Schröder, went to the United States and Canada, trying to find a nation to take them in, but both refused. He finally returned the ship to Europe, where various European countries, including Belgium, the Netherlands, the UK, and France, accepted some refugees. Many were later caught in Nazi roundups of Jews in occupied countries, and historians have estimated that approximately a quarter of them died in death camps during World War II. These events, known as the “Voyage of the Damned” in one account, have inspired film, opera, and fiction.

But it’s a big beautiful text wall!

I give up. :)

As to the writing on the last panel, it’s not Spanish or Portuguese, anyone have a clue?

grazie mille mark!

My newspaper chose not even to put this strip in today. They put in an old one.

It can’t be helped; politics are everywhere, just like cow patties…

Illegitimi non carborundum.

Can this really be the End of Comics? Once, comic strips were a big draw that helped sell newspapers.Then newspapers began willfully shrinking and comics shrank to sub-legible and were often dropped altogether. Now, Lio is at a similar roadblock. Much as I like the advertising graphics tribute to the nonsense-Latin lorem ipsum, I must urge Lio to forge on! Lio batters down Oppression! (That is a tribute to a Blackhawk comic book cover blurb….)

It’s fine if ambiguous. Perhaps ‘enigmamz’ may exercise his choice by reading other comics and leave Mr. Tattulli to his own devices, which we his readers believe are just fine.

Of course Mark is going to be for unlimited borders, the more ppl here, the more will buy papers. Better for him. So, let’s have no BORDERS and invite all 247 million ppl south of the US into the 50. No? So, Mark, we feel the same, it’s a matter of #’s then, huh?
