Lio by Mark Tatulli for February 08, 2023

somewhat almost like when Susie Derkins’ eyeball got “knocked out” of the socket after Calvin whacked her in the back of the head with a snowball

Poor Dad, mostly gets the raw end of the deal!

That beats Marcia getting hit with a football and hurting her nose.

He never liked football anyway.

I used to be in a hiking group with a man who was afraid of snakes. I was thinking of getting a rubber snake to throw at him sometime, but I never got around to it. Could never figure out how to throw the snake and casually record video at the same time.

April 1st has come early!

I like the design of the lamp.

I’ve seen real videos of parents whamming their kids in the head with a ball. No eyeballs fall out thankfully.

Gives new meaning to the phrase “Keep your eye on the ball.”

My 1st thought was that he could replace his eyes…

This looks something I would have done…

Today’s Lio Takeaways… 1) How to successfully avoid playing catch: Spare eyeballs! and 2) Lio has a very sweet side: He writes letters to his Grandma. She gets him! Our Grandma never sent us anything that cool.

They are the life of the party….

It definitely skips a generation in Lio’s family.

Good ol’ Grandma!

And if it hit him below the belt?

Grandmothers, the ultimate accomplices against parents.

Judging by their shared sense of the macabre, I’d say that grandma hangs on the mother’s side of the family tree.

That’s a grandma who knows her grandson a little too well.
