Lio by Mark Tatulli for July 18, 2021

Reminds me of a classic Peanuts strip: Charlie Brown fills pool, then empties it after shooing Snoopy out, fills it up again, comes back after getting his trunks on, and the pool is filled with Snoopy and the other neighborhood kids.

Sorry, Dad. Adult time just ended at the top of the hour. Now it’s open swim time.

And Dad is surprised why??

Ok, who inked the pool?

Bouillabaisse!

Everybody loves company (?).

Go ahead and join them and get to know Lio’s friends.

he should have just taken off his shirt, socks, and sandals right there and gotten into the pool when he finished filling it.

Last one in the pool is a rotten egg!

I hope nobody ‘inks’ the pool.

This is what happens when you take too long to get ready, Dad.

Come on in Dad. There’s always room for one more….

I was expecting some reader to be grossed out by shirtless Dad, but then I remembered all the grosser things that have appeared in this comic.

You snooze, you lose, Dad!

Lio’s father is wearing a new pair of socks! His big toe hasn’t punched a hole in them yet!

It never fails.

There’s plenty of room as long as you don’t annoy the shark.
