Lio by Mark Tatulli for July 07, 2012

Gotcha, Eva!

And yet Liō still loves Eva. I was hoping she’d make him finally happy by timidly trying to give him a kiss and he snatches her like a Venus fly trap.

Most little boys are not that kind of forward: at least not knowingly.

See, now this is cute! :D

Oh, Lio! Your heartfelt ambush has been sprung just as planned! Now, we await Eva Rose’s reaction! The dark thought-fume rising from her does not augur well, I fear.

Reverse Psychology works!

Eva has summer teeth. Some are here some are there.

She likes him :-) or she wouldn’t care that he ignored her. Clever Lio.

Gotcha! I like it

Lio has a crush on her, literally.

You got me, Lio! I honestly thought there was a clone Lio walking around (or you were possessed or something). Nice trap, and now we know how she really feels.

Now that’s a whole lot of love!

Rats. Deep down, I just knew it was too good to be true.

HOOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep Eva got duped!

…wow, that’s a real ‘heart attack’…

Massive heart attack!

It would appear Eva is fuming that either Lio still has feeling for her, or that he totally outwitted her.

psych !

What have we learned here, Lio?

Also, to Old_Salt, your comment makes me think of the old joke, ’She’s wearing her summer diamonds. Some ‘er diamonds and some ’er not.’

Love that smile on Lio’s face in the last panel.

Lio plays hard-to-get around Eva, and it works! Nice.

Drowning in a tsunami of love!

I think Lio should introduce Eva to his little friend Death. Then she might appreciate Lio a little more

ooh i see… he was letting out his hearts in the cupboard
