Lio by Mark Tatulli for December 11, 2012

Nice job.

Now go get Dad a new front door from The Home Depot for Christmas, Liō.

Where there’s a will, there’s a ray.

Measure twice, blast once. Lio’s Carpentry Rule.

Using logic with Lio is always asking for trouble.

Just drag the tree in from the side, Lio…you won’t have to worry about branches scratching the front siding…

Nice try dad. I thought you would know your son by now :D

Looks like they’re going to have a white Christmas – inside the house!

Hey, it’s just like my front door. Well it was…

Antibiotics.

FREE AIR CON

Nothing, but NOTHING, gets in the way of this kid’s Christmas spirit.

You mean Lio just walks around with that disintegrator-ray hidden in his pocket all the time [please hold your tired old bad jokes]? Or did he dash inside, fetch it, and come back outside between panels 2 and 3 (in which case, Dad should have had time to intervene)?

problem solved.

The dad doesn’t even look surprised. it’s more of a “well you got me there” look on his face

Ask a silly question, Dad…

Bet their heating bill will go up for a while.

Dad might wanna hold off on pointing out that Lio’s tree is also too tall for the ceiling

now how is he going to stand it up in the house?take out two ceilings?

Great languages guys and cool ray gun Lio!

Ya’gotta love Lio

Door’s fine, but wall’s a mess!
