Lio by Mark Tatulli for February 19, 2009

Lio’s Mom: “OMG! Not AGAIN!!!!” —– Lio’s Dad: I just got the coldest shiver up and down my spine!

Good thing he didn’t select “END”.

I’ve never seen or heared of lio’s mom.

Lio’s Mom is an enigma: 1) did she leave Lio’s Dad (with good reason)?

2) Did she become a victim of one of Lio’s experiments gone awry?

3) Did she _ … ?

From a solipsistic view, the beginning of time would be conception and the end of time would be death. That time machine moves Lio between those points, or at least moves his consciousness between them.

Awww … It’s “Lil’ Lio” – prequel time!

a womb with a view…

Yikes, his head is huge. Mom’s going to have a hard time getting him out.

a little too far lol

Yikes..maybe this explains why we never see Lio’s mom…she never wants to go through that again!

He’s already got that hairdo, too… So now, if he goes back to prehistoric times, what’s going to happen to him? Will he turn into an idea? Or a floating spirit? Hmmm…

Is it just me…or did anyone else look at that last panel and think of the final scene from 2001: A Space Odyssey?

It is clearly a visual reference to 2001, and an affirmation of life existing from the womb.

No, it’s a political “pro-life” statement. Life begins before birth. Or maybe it’s just a funny cartoon.

does lio have a nose?

I for one never understood why if one traveled back in time they stayed the same age. It seemed to make more sense for me that as one traveled back, one would also grow younger too.

Lio went back a little bit too far.

Dad: “Oh, God, not again!”

Is this really the first time this has happened?

Must be how Lio stays young all these years
