Lio by Mark Tatulli for February 21, 2011

Oops!

Reaper has just been KILLING the ball this year!

And Death is OUT.

Who skulled who?!….

Death loses his head while playing with Lio.

The caption for the third panel could read, “Alas, poor Yuric. I knew him well.”

Someone’s gonna have a headache from that hit!

Babe Ruthless.

Now that’s a foul ball.

ummmm…srry fr tht skull thing..!!!! LOL

For some reason this calls to mind “Dead Like Me.” I really miss that show!

He built it and HE came…

I kept telling him not to lose his head….

But seriously, Lio is about to break into a huge grin.

Why did I ever think I was going to make the “Yurik” joke? Curse you POUNCINGTIGER! What time do you get up, O”Dark Hundred?

This is what happens to those who use steriods. Also, it’s Yorrick. (sorry but the teacher in me has to make corrections)

“Death Takes a Holiday”.

I wouldn’t want to be the umpire who has to call him ‘Out’…

Watch it kid, that’s a good way to lose a tooth…

Come on grim, FOCUS, you’re loosing you head there! :D

I was hoping to get a-head of the game, but I can’t beat Shakespeare so early in the morn… and thanks, teach, for the spelling correction on Yorrick.

@sandfan: more like “Death Takes a Low and Outside Slider and Drives It to Deep Left.”

Death hitting fungoes.

Go Phillies!

So, instead of a game of chess, your fate is now determined by a home run derby?

Good thing Lio didn’t take G.R. bowling; that would really freak people out.

Moral of the story…. Always wear a helmet.

Death flies out and fear grounds into a double play.

Death is batting cleanup? Is this the first sign of the Apocalypse?

He must have skied that ball clear over the backstop (and the stands) for Liō to be able to catch it on the hills surrounding the field. (Hasn’t anyone noticed that the Grim Reaper is standing in front of, and not “behind” home plate?)
