Lio by Mark Tatulli for May 01, 2012

Dad’s going to be so pissed when he figures it out.

lio’s take on a silly movie from the ’90’s…

Aim it at the National deficit next!

It worked! :D

In this case, physical size will be more in proportion to the majority of human intelligence.

Good thing we have the magnifying glass icon to read what was shrunken.

Oh, no! Lio’s shrunk Dad, and the fridge! What will Lio eat or drink?BTW, how many panels would one say there are in today’s strip?

Apparently it’s better to ask forgiveness instead of permission…

So right…

Shrinkage. Like a frightened turtle.

“Just Say No” whenever Lio asks a question like that.

Shrink Ray, riiiiight! . Gimme a break, kid that thing’s a fake and so are y….

Uhhhm, okay,…maybe I was a little harsh just now

oops…

Hey at least Lio asked first…didn’t wait for a responce, true, but he DID ask!

Cool looking ray gun. Reminds me of the Buck Rogers pistol I lusted after in the ’50s. (Or was it the ’40s)?

Looks like Dad only just got to read the fine print

So THAT’s what’s been happening to the comics page!

Shrinking dad….Bad…lol

And in related news, Lio was just put on Bill Watterson’s hit list.

I guess his dad knows now.

And I had to use the Enlarging option in order to read Lio’s message to his dad.

aim that at my wifes a….nevermind. OUCH! Stop it. Don’t hit me. Fleeeee!

Now I know what comic strip artist are talking about when they say the comics are shrinking

Honey.. I Shrunk Dad!

I guess they’ll be more room for mankind now..

A 2010 Lio strip shrunk in a 2012 strip!

at that rate, earth would be the size of mercury

and print newspaper editors rejoiced

Our little scientist…
