Lio by Mark Tatulli for July 22, 2009

Oops… they lose more poodles around there that way.

“This is my please-let-me-out bark.”

Oh god no! not Fred NNNNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Poor Fred is dead! –Well, he had a right long run!

Stay away from the light, Fred!

It´s the litle lost dog.

Where’s Yorkie when you need him?

Sad to say….Fred had it coming.

Marmaduke your next

Fred is cute, but rarely funny. He talks too much

MY dog can beat (eat?) up YOUR dog so NYAH

YEAH! Now go find Garfield for dessert.

Just goes to show ya… comic strip placement is important to a healthy existence.

Lio found a way to get rid of the competition.

What would be interesting is if sometime Mark coordinated with the other cartoonist. Today’s Fred Bassett could be his owners picking up his collar and scratching their heads.

Cf. “Hands Across the Comics Page” week at Pearls Before Swine … where the burning question is not “where’s Fred?” but “when will Mary Worth come out of the closet???”

Garfield would be a 4 course meal here…

“Marmaduke your next” Your next what, exactly?

my neighbor has an obnoxious poodle, Lio can I borrow your pet?

Looks like Lio is checking out a comics page - how Meta.

Apatosaurus, not Brontosaurus (that is so 70’s)

My Mum is not going to be happy…

Marmaduke, you’re next?! I wish Lio would have stopped by there first! Then his dino would be too full to eat good ol’ Fred.

Starting tomorrow, the part of Fred Basset will be played by Fred from “Smokey and the Bandit”.

This is a LIO dinosaur…he exists only on a steady diet of over-the-hill comic strip characters

I want to adopt Lio !!!!

…and the dino!

Hot dog! 8)

OOOOOOOooooo, I have to forward this to Hamish and Andy….radio DJ’s from Melbourne, Australia :-D
