Lio by Mark Tatulli for February 27, 2011

Is this the end of our hero? GASP!

For a young lad, Lio definitely has some deep, inner fears. He obviously feels swallowed up by his current life. Maybe he needs a new mom…

It’s pretty bad when you can’t even trust your own shadow.

I think he just outgrew his hat

This should happen to every person who tries to keep up christmas-y things after February.

Sergio Aragones, of Mad Magazine fame, drew this bit from time to time where people’s shadows reflected what they were REALLY thinking.

He’d love this one.

Food for thought.

Wasn’t this a scene in Killer Klowns from Outer Space?

Say it ain’t so, Lio!

I was just re-reading some of my Aragones paperback collections the other day, Simon, and one of them had his “The Shadow Knows” cartoons. I’m sure that he would get a kick out of this one.

May be its his alter ego, but then what does an alter ego look like; may be the shadow knows!

When I was 8 and was left alone at night, I would listen to “The Shadow” on the radio, and it would scare me like I can imagine Lio is frightened being auto-anthromorphized.

Lio did you cross your friends on the other side?

LIO!!!!!!!
