Lio by Mark Tatulli for February 20, 2025

Least it’s not “Don’t be Afraid of the Dark.”

guess the eyes have it.

It’s not the dark you should be afraid of. it’s the things you can’t see.

Maybe now I am.

The light can be scary too. Especially if it’s a black light.

Just how dark are we talkin’?

Good show, if somewhat cheesy acting. Used to watch it all the time as a kid.

I have always wondered – why do ghosts just prowl around at night? How do they know the difference?

I loved that show as a child.

Lio has friends to protect him.

Wait, are all those characters in the dark saying that they’re afraid of the dark, or are they just expressing glee at the show coming on?

Yep. You know those things that go “Bump!” in the night? They do that because they’re running in the dark, afraid of the dark!

When I was a teen, I slept in a room in a basement that was completely dark — you couldn’t see your hand or a white piece of paper in front of your face. But I’d never had much fear of the dark and it didn’t bother me at all then.

Lio always feels like he’s being watched……

Do you really want to know?…..

You’ll know you’ve made it when the dark is afraid of you.

If they’re afraid of it, why are they hiding in it??
