Lio by Mark Tatulli for February 09, 2020

needs two more snowballs stacked on top along with a top hat, a button nose, and a corncob pipe

Can you shoot a snow sculpture shaped like an enormous foot??

You’re a true hero, Lio.

Revenge is a snowball (or boulder) best served cold.

Nice shot

Way to go, Lio!!!!

You would think that the bully would learn that with Lio around he’s never going to truly have the upper hand!

Lio just happened to have his trebuchet handy. What luck!

Has Lio been hanging out with Dill’s brothers again?

BULLSEYE!!

Built by Dill’s brothers (from Cul de Sac), A catapult isn’t too far off from a trebuchet..

We can only hope.

I like it when Lio punishes those who ask for it. Instead of whoever comes along.

And that’s the way you deal with bullies. Give them a taste of their own medicine and then ask if they want to talk about it. Talking first just encourages them. Beat them down first until they are a quivering mass of jelly and then talk. They perceive talking first as a sign of weakness.

Walk softly and carry a big catapult. (With apologies to Teddy Roosevelt).

Catapults are so last year, Lio—get a trebuchet.

“YES!”

Using his power for good.

Man, could I have used one of those things when I was a kid!

Lio conspires with the infamous Brothers Wedekind (there ought to be an exceedingly long and tedious Russian novel about them, but so far it hasn’t been written), Dill’s elder brothers and masters of the neighborhood trebuchet (in the Cul de Sac strip)!

Sic semper Bullies!

Totally justifies the catapult!
