Lio by Mark Tatulli for July 16, 2023

The speech bubbles on the bottom are from one of Tatulli’s last Heart of the City strips: the one from 4/20/2020. Never thought I’d see it referenced here

That goes beyond breaking the fourth wall.

Wonder if Cybil has a lasagna bomb….Gotta take out the competition, right?

You can’t kill a zombie.

Maim-a-Duke. (ducks biscuits from dog lovers) I’ll show myself out.

Marmaduke is funny because of his size.

That dam-n CAT!

Don’t just stand there looking shocked, Lio…DO SOMETHING!

it could be like the coyote’s bombs and not work until the cat touches it. :D

Cybil’s gonna have a blast.

Is one enough?

NO, NOT MARMADUKE! Do that to Grimmy, or are you afraid to his reaction?

Bad form!

I seem to be saying that a mite today…

Isn’t some sort of copyright infringement to blow up some other cartoonest’s character?

Not Marmaduke. NO……

5 wraps of Det. Cord around a brick of C4….

How many others out there refreshed their screens thinking something was wrong?

You’d think Cybill would have sprung for the RC model.

Meanwhile, Jeffy from “Family Circus” is leaving footprints all over the place…..

Great, great, great, so lio’s cat doesn’t like Marmaduke either, me too…

I’ve come back to say that I never liked Marmaduke
