Lio by Mark Tatulli for September 09, 2012

Liftoff. We have liftoff.

And he’s outta here!!!

An ejector seat? You must be joking!Lio never jokes about his work.

Smile… Sitting at home eating a sandwich with Squidoo… Much better than sitting in the classroom for Lio…

I can remember the clock-watching countdown of those final minutes of the grammar school day. But I never had an ejector-seat! Lio is so lucky!

It was a good idea. Right up until he hit the ceiling tiles.

D,C,B,ASchool is over for the day.

Like all true stunt men, Lio will land on a big baggy. He probably thinks parachutes are for sissys. (Then again, he might be breaking out the ol’ jetpack off-panel…..)

And he’s out of here!

Sometimes the simplest gags, visually, are the best.

Great one, Mark.

I bet Lio (unlike some dumb stunt I’d pull) even remembered to open the roof first.

Lioftoff!
