Lio by Mark Tatulli for April 12, 2012

It’s funny, Dad, laugh!

An actual classic joke told by Lio. See link below.

Don’t know whether to laugh at Lio’s comic or the “Lio” comic.

Dad, he must of been going real fast when he stopped in my room, because he left skid marks.

It would be funny if that hadn’t happened for real a few weeks earlier.

Lio is a budding cartoonist! Look out, Tatulli; you could become expendable!

Puberty?

Looks like he’s doing a bit of sock stuffing, too.

You should give him a name, like Homer, or Mr. Happy. Or The Crippler.

ow, my poor brain!

Word balloons in a ‘Lio’ strip? The Aztecs were right – it is the end of the world!

“Under where?”

I remember the"what’s Your sign" strip.

Wait’ll you grow up kid, you’ll WISH you had a monster in your underpants

Lio, that punch line was lame. You’re much more creative than that …

Lio’s drawing of Dad is very flattering! Not so much of himself.

My wife worked a summer once as a cook’s helper in a hunting camp in the NorthWest Territories. She also helped with the laundry, and one of the guides had put in a pair of underwear that read “Have you seen my monster?” Before sending them back, she pinned a note to them “Why, have you lost him?”

I remember that famous punchline in the Marx Brithers’ movieAnimal Crackers (1931):

Groucho: “One morning I shot an elephant in pajamas. How it got in my pajamas I’ll never know!”

Good drawings Lio.

Last night I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in them I’ll never know. – Grouch Marx

he wants to laugh but not want to at the same time

The kid in the strip reminds me more of Hammie MacPhereson… Oh! Brilliant idea! Running story line interstrip gag- Cousin Bubbles has a playdate with the MacPherson kids (aka Baby Blues kids).

XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD

Well, at least Lio was thoughtful enough to brief Dad on the situation at hand …
