Lio by Mark Tatulli for October 20, 2020

What if Lio is infected and brings Covid back to 2019?

Would it be a good thing he didn’t travel back to 1918 when there was also a worldwide pandemic of influenza?

Okay, this is another one that I know is just an earlier strip with some minor edits. The art style gives it away. If I recall correctly, everything in this is the same, except instead of the sign, the second panel has an interdimensional meter maid writing Lio a ticket, or something like that.

Ah, the memories. What carefree and fun days we once had. sniff

2020…this too shall pass.

Ah, when masks hid just identity… Okay, 2020 masks can, too! Just not in a Halloweird way!

For some, 2019 does seem way back in the past!

From one expert M. Osterholm, the next 6 to 12 weeks will be the worst of this pandemic. Stay strong and stay safe we’ll get through this.

20*19*

I shudder to think of bobbing for apples now.

My kid’s school had a few teachers who would not allow the kids to wear a mask with there costume in the Halloween parade. (Which went from around the block to around the high school track.) Plus, NO weapons of any kind, no matter how fantastical. Makes for a lame parade.

I can just imagine someone 20 years in the future reading these strips and they’ll be sooooo confused lol.

I hate to say it, but I wish we really could go back to 2019.

2019? Why not pick a date when things were freer, easier and safer, like before 10/6/66 (when LSD was declared illegal).

We made a point to teach our Special Needs students to be extra careful. Also read people can avoid contact by leaving bagged candy outside the door.
