Lio by Mark Tatulli for April 30, 2023

and Dad is s’posed to be spooked, Lio?

Dad’s going to be shaking his head and asking “Why me, Lord?”

Couldn’t afford the bungee cord?

Ah!! The first Lio of spring!!

Needs something that looks wing-y instead of springy!!

…of course, it is spring, so maybe that’s the intention??

“Kids, don’t try this at home”! Lio is a professional comic character

Fifth panel: THUD!

Well, let’s see.

The warning on the box says:

“CAUTION: Do not use in moving vehicle. Do not throw coils out any window. Keep Springy away from face and eyes.”

So Lio isn’t using the toy in an unsafe manner?

BONUS: Two extra points if you know where the quoted “safety warning” actually appears.

Ging Ging Ging Snap! If only…..

Sometimes Lio reminds me of Harold in “Harold & Maude”

My favorite magazine.

I love the fact that Dad doesn’t look the least bit surprised!

Lio must be awfully lightweight to be able to use a Springy Spring to bungee jump. Also love the vampire teeth as he’d hanging upside down as a bat would.

Just another normal day……

Ya know. My slinky did NOT work that way for me when I tried that.

Dad, I doubt you’ll have money to fix up the garage since the roof and roof vents need to be repaired.

Spring is here.

Did Lio just see “Dracula” with Frank Langella?
