Lio by Mark Tatulli for April 06, 2011

Sorry, even vampire boys have to go to school.

Scary!

Shouldn’t Lio be burnt to a crisp in the last panel?

I’m surprised Lio’s going to school, because he has been “coffin”.

I love this comic.

There are so many different abilities and weaknesses attributed to Vampiric beings in worldwide folklore that you can pick and choose as to what a Vampire can do and what will kill it.

Although “Glitter” is still an abomination.

Some vampires never come out….

Vampires are all the rage these days.

I bet he doesn’t sparkle.

Nothing brings you down to Earth quite like having to catch the bus in the morning. Sorry, Lio.

That just bites

Why are teenager into vampires? I read Dracula when I was…. Oh. Why was Daracular the first book I re-read on my Kindle?….Oh.

Darkeforce, it makes me think…about the anthropologists that question every culture in the world, including the most remote rain forest tribes looking for vampire folklore. Unless of course all cultures are so proud of those stories they tell ‘em the first chance they get. So yeah ;)

Get with the times Lio. vampires ares sooooo 2010. It’s zombies that are hip now.

I hope he at least has blood pudding in his lunch!

I’m surprised he sent Lio to school when he’s coffin like that.

A very Calvinesque strip today.

And we mustn’t forget Ray Bradbury’s Elliott Family from The October Country, now back in print!

Well, I thought it was a great excuse! Good try, Lio…

And Lio stands at the bus stop, thinking, “This bites. School sucks.”

Methinks Lio was just trying to avoid Eva Rose and that guy bully at school..unfortunately, dad didn’t fall for his attempts to stay at home. Lio is one, unhappy little boy who has managed to avoid most social interactions with his peers…good or bad.
