Lio by Mark Tatulli for May 24, 2009

Lio doesn’t like ‘Family Circus’ ball?

i think that IS lio’s favorite ball

Bald, you could be right.

Mark, did you win?

Congratulations to Lio, who, with some help from Mark Tatulli, just won the comic strip Reuben!

Gratz Mark! Well deserved award.

Yeah! just read this on http://www.reuben.org/news/

Just a wonderful gag! well done…lol

Congrats, Mark!

Well done, Mr. Tatulli!

Oh, and I love the punk mohawk and earring on Big Purple..

This is the best use for Family Circus that I have ever seen.

Congratulations, Mark!

Hmm. Jeff Keane is the Pres of NCS.

You going for bonus points here, Mark, or trying to keep the award from happening?

Nicely done either way!

Congrats on the award!

So Lio goes to the Ball but Mark gets the award!

WELL DONE MARK!!!

I hope some of the remaining few newspaper publishers take note, read up and sign you to their papers/sites.

Congratulations Mark!

Whee, the Family Circus kids are having a ball!

cfortunato says: Perfect. Mark Tatulli just won a Reuben from the National Cartoonist’s Society of which Jef Keane is the President, and THIS appears

so thats why lio is trying to stop them

Way to go Mark! Both Lio and Heart are on my daily must read list. Glad to see you getting the recognition you deserve!!

Seems like I remember a strip from a year or so ago where Lio ran a periscope up through the funnies. Mommy from Family Circus had a “dance pole” Lio does give the Family Circus a good bit of publicity

I can imagine what Lio’s saying: “What are you tossing the ball for? I said we were gonna practice spiking it!”

As we used to say way back when at the now defunct Wheaton Presbyterian, Mazel Tov! on the much deserved recognition, Mark!

YAY! Way to go, Reuben voters! GREAT CHOICE!

Way to go Mark!
