Lio by Mark Tatulli for June 24, 2009

You killed Sponge Bob!!!

Finally! That idiot sponge is dead!!

That has to be one salty pineapple.

Kill Teddy too! http://gocomics.com/frogapplause

I hope Gary is okay. Meow.

Can I have some of those pineapple chunks to eat?

YES! finally death came for spongebob. I knew something like this was going to happen, after all Lio did recently steal the grimm reapers clothes.

Oops.

Lio shouldn’t have done that. You can’t kill a sponge by cutting it in half. He’s just going to end up with TWO Spongebobs, and one is already too much!

He regenerates. It’s cool.

Thank you Lio!!!

About time someone took care of that menace to civilization!!!

Bob can’t be worse than Barney

This is not going to like to Squidward Tentacles……..

I am glad someone finally took a stand and decided to kill off spongebob! I love it!!

I’m still waiting for Lio to square off against Dexter.

yummmm pineapple with cottage cheese, and sponge bob to clean the dishes

Go Lio!!! golf clap

Margueritem, I like your new Roland Headly Jr. HD avatar – as long as we don’t look too close!

It’s about time.

I’ve never watched SpongeBob … does he live in a pineapple?

(I like the way Lio’s 1/3 cut turned into a perfect half. He must be great at slicing pies.)

Lio wins against Dexter. Dexter has too many people thwarting his activities while Lio’s Dad is encouraging. No Contest for Lio. I want to see Lio apply fo rthe “Evil League of Evil” ala “Dr. Horrible’s Sing along Blog.”

LOL! Good one!!!

He lives in a pineapple under the sea. Sponge- Bob- Square- Pants! Absorbent and yellow and porous is he. Sponge- Bob- Square- Pants! If nautical nonsense be something you wish – Sponge- Bob- Square- Pants! Then drop on the deck and blub like a fish! Sponge- Bob- Square- Pants! Ready? (repeat Sponge- Bob- etc. four times)

I love SpongeBob – but I’m not a nut about it. And I laughed heartily at today’s Lio strip.

On behalf of all teachers (and parents, I bet!) of young children, thanks, Lio! ;)

I almost spurted coffee out my nose! Hilaaaaarious!

This one made me guffaw! The people singing the praises of SBSP demise are premature. Don’t forget if you cut a sponge in two, you end up with 2 sponges. They grow and bud new sponges. This could be the start of an infestation the likes of which no being has endured before…

NICE!!!! That’s funny!!

Bad news - one cut sponge equals two sponges. We now have TWICE as many Spongebobs. Is the world ready for this?!

FINALLY the tyranny is over. LONG LIVE LIO!!!

Will Ishmael take the place of Squidward?

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Question? Will Lio go after Barney the dinosaur next?

GENIUS!

Wow, now I’m never buying pineapples at the store again…

As I look at this comic, I think about all the little boys and girls who will react to this with shock and horror… and I laugh even louder. 8D

THANK YOU, MARK!

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?

No ONE, ANYmore!

Hey, Pained. I agree; Gary is too cool to divide.

I’d rather my son watch Sponge Bob than most of the other kids’ cartoons.

Phineous and Ferb for the win!

Phineous and Ferb rule!

This comic is AWESOME!

Why does everyone hate Spongebob? He’s hilarious!

BTW, Lio’s deed was innocent, he didn’t know it was Spongebob’s pineapple.

i wish i could send this to my roomate, he’s addicted to spongebob…

Wow, talk about a way to boost the comments to near-Pigborn numbers. Hack a talking sponge in two,and BOOM.

i don’t like spongebob much either..specially that song…surely didnt see this coming.lol

I’ll bet Squidward will be sending a thank-you note to Liō soon.

hey, i LIKE spongebob

Thank you finally someone finally killed spongebob squarepants. Mark Thank you.

Oh… I wish. I am so sick of that insipid sponge. :)

He LIVED in a pineapple under the sea… note the past tense, LIVED!!!

Great-now he’s gonna wind up on South Park.

Look… they killed Kenny annnnd Sponge Bob.

The little spongehead had it coming. Bwah-ha-ha-ha.

Ty Mark, A Sponge should be stay in the kitchen, dont inside a pinneapple and living in sea. ;) Died Bob, please dont back ;)

Why do you all hate this guy? I’m not much of a fan, but this is SAD. :-(

Squidward Tentacles is having a party tonight.

Oh no! SpongeBob!!! I LOVE IT!

oh YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!

i hate to criticize a comic strip, but the angle of the cut didnt line up
