Lio by Mark Tatulli for August 29, 2010

dad tries his best…

I’m sure they’re having fun–maybe excepting Dad–, but I don’t think they’re playing by the rules…. BTW, my favorite board game was Clue, and I don’t see it in Dad’s stack!

Whatever helps keep the family together is good, I suppose, but I don’t think that whole “blessed be the ties that bind” quote is referring to actually tying someone up with rope.

Could be worse - they could’ve played Twister

This is Calvinball but with Lio’s twist.

“Blessed Be the Ties That Bind–and Gag.” Erma Bombeck

Looks like the spiders should have tied up Ishy instead of dad…he’s hogging all the Monopoly money…

I love family game nights.

Dad’s just a little tied up at the moment.

That looks like me on family game nights.

Sysiphos, I don’t have a clue..

I don’t think Dad had the WHOLE “family” in mind when he had this idea…

If they were playing Twister, Ishy would win hands..er…tenacles down!

the bat looks like Spock the cat’s cousin :)

I bet Dad’s “SORRY” he invited the whole crew!

that;s not what I had in mind

Good thing Dad didn’t bring out Operation.

I should have game night soon. It’s been awhile. Good Fun!

That 4th game Dad brought out should have been “Surreal Life”.

An interesting blend of Torquemada and Parker Brothers.

Looks like it turned out better than this…

Love the Bombeck reference. My thought, exactly.

When its family game night, we include the WHOLE family Dad!
