Lio by Mark Tatulli for August 24, 2009

Must be a very old TV.

Doesn’t Dad find the lack of movement in the picture suspicious?

Or the scotch tape?

Lio, I really don’t see why you can’t just let your father watch some television. I hope your you are going to take that of because then your dad is going to have to call Merrin’s TV repair and that is going to cost him money espacially since he doesn’t have any (last week’s episode).In the end just take it off

DAD! such bed language in front of a child….sheesh put a dollar in the jar and take Lio to the park for some fresh air…but put on pants first……..

It’s a comic strip. Tim exists in single frames. And LIO is accutely aware of his own comic strip-iness. So a frozen frame of snow without sound would be enough to trick Dad. Do I have to explain everything?!

You tell ‘em, M.T.

Never had these problems in the old days when we sit around and watched the radio.

“Time” I meant to say…not Tim.

I’m such a boob…

Some call him…………….Tim?

@Doriation: An enchanting response!

In Lio’s world, I’ll bet that even a static image of static can pull in Dad a la Poltergeist.

Reminds me of taking a snapshot off a co-workers desktop, and then setting that snapshot as their computers wallpaper.

Jeff, you combine that with a long moment of silence as a startup chime and laughs galore ensue. For everyone else.

lio lio lio, how can you do that to your dad??

(Snicker snicker snicker)

Created that pix a lot. When in college in a frat house. A friend and I used to tease the Star Trek fans by disconnecting the cable at critical times. The one watching signaled the other outside. We switched places to so our befuddled Trekkies could not figure out who it was.

Alright! Who replaced the digital tv with an analog!

Just as LIO will never age, neither will his TV

Heads up, Mark - Dick Tracy is going around pretending to be you….

that’s sooo mean! lmao!

Bad vision, poor perception, good artist skills

Still better than most things on t.v.

Notice the squiggly lines are sitting still.
