Lio by Mark Tatulli for August 27, 2009

AGGGHHHH, not the Charlie Brown sweater!

Yes! It’s everywhere! It’s everywhere! (Apologies to Chickenman)!

We miss you, Sparky.

Lio, you blockhead.

I got a rock

What prison was he escaping from?

Well, I don’t suppose Charlie will need to wear it again.

Much better than how Cathy would have dressed you.

Nice shirt, it probably just cost a few peanuts.

Hi Gweedo, Thanks!

why does gocomics not carry peanuts? they carry calvin and hobbes and thats a re-run! i think gocomics should get peanuts!

baslim - wearing horizontal zigzags with vertical striped pants is scary enough…

They should carry Pearls Before Swine, too.

Well, better a Peanuts reference then day after day after day after day of monsters. Variety is the spice of life!

Now I’d really like to see him take on the “Archie marries Veronica” debacle….

My son shops in the same store! He prefers the “Jeremy” look from “Zits”. My own preference is “Hagar” - not the pants but the Viking.

Hahahaha I like Doctor Toon’s comment

Hey, all. I’m new to Lio. Is that dude his father?

Yes Terrabeth, it is his father.

And a good thing, too; I’d hate to think that kids are being encouraged to beg for money from strangers in their underwear.

You can get more comics at comics.com and the Houston Chronicle (chron.com)

ninmas & others: You can get “Peanuts”, “Pearls Before Swine”, and “Get Fuzzy” free at Comics.com - it’s an aggravatingly slow system at times but has a lot that isn’t carried here.

Peanuts and Pearls Before Swine are both carried by Comics.com…I’m not sure what decides which site carries which cartoons. Especially since some cartoons, like “On a Claire Day” are carried by both.

And Schulz…I, along with so many others, miss him so much. :(

But did Charlie ever get to kick that football? As I remember, “Rerun” was vague on this information! ;)

tgrfemme, I don’t think he ever did - I was hoping he would in the last strip, but he didn’t there. (Lots of Schulz fan tributes had him kicking it, though. :) )

Love the comments on this one, especially Tom Saaristo’s, wndrwthg’s, and The_JAM’s.

Just wait ‘til next year!

Anyone remember the TV special “It’s Magic, Charlie Brown”? That was the one where Snoopy accidentally turned CB invisible (Yes, you read that right). CB took advantage of this and kicked the football right out of Lucy’s hands while in his transparent state (I’m not making this up). It was an historic moment! And you can wear the shirt, Lio. But you had best not try flying a kite and approaching the Little Red-Haired Girl and managing a baseball team and…

A lot of “Peanuts” fans here, so just wanted to let you know that in Friday’s “The Boondocks”, Huey is putting Lucy Van Pelt in his “Hate Book” for always pulling the football away. Yes, Lucy, we were always watching, even Huey.

I just joined this site today. Love it already!

I love this site, too.

Hey, Lio, your not a comic character, too.
