Lio by Mark Tatulli for January 12, 2010

Hooray, a snow day anyway!

I love Lio dad! : ) HIm really understand Lio. hehehe!

Seen Dad face (second panel), him looks more stuning that Lio for the news.

I think that him love play in the snow.! :)

The all day underwear guy is a good dad :)

Hooky, hooky, who took a day off?! –Yay, Dad!

‘Morning caucel and Sisyphos!

Lio’s dad FTW!

Morning Margueritem, here is 1 am :)

Sisyphos :) hey!

pd: Maybe Lio fans needs a forum or something like it, just for chat. ;)

That is the father we all dream of.

Morning, marg and caucel!

If some fan of Lio wanna add me I am caucel in facebook.

Easy for search. :) Mark had a facebook too, and it is growing every day.

Lio had a large fan community.

I’d pretend I didn’t see that bulletin either. Woo hoo, snow day!!

Snow Days were the best when I was a kid. It was rare though that my parents would allow us to skip a day although I remember having 2 weeks off the winter of ‘76 due to heavy snow and the fuel crisis.

It’s cool his dad is so excited to spend the day with Lio =)

What better way to spend a snowy day than playing with your child? Love it, Mark!

grail are you in Ohio? we got SLAMMED in 76 (and 78) i remember being forbidden to go outside because the snow was higher than my head. come to think of it i did a lot a crafts and drawing then too to keep busy and push away the stir crazies

i absolutely agree. that would be extremely fun. a chatboard. but then i would get NOTHING done at all.

so Caucel you are only 2 hours (or so) earlier than Ohio time. (according to your post 5 hours ago it was 1 am it’s 740 here now)

If I could do it all over again, I would choose to spend time paying in the snow with my kids. Times like these are too precious.

I loved this one

What a nice Dad.

Even when we had a snow day, my Dad usually went to work. We shoveled and shoveled.

Dad is great! He truly understands his son.

Lio’s dad is SO nicer than I am… Sigh

this is so sweet! :)

They must be in Canada….

“Beuler………..Beuler…………………….Beuler…..”

What a great Dad!

It’s nice to see a Dad who actually enjoys spending time with his kid! In all other comics, parents are always horrified by snow days, because they don’t want to be around their kids.

so, who was more interested in having a snow day ??///

I lived next door to the manager of the company that ran the school busses and he made the decision. My mother always knew if there was a snow day before the local radio station, but she wouldn’t tell me and always made me get up to listen to the radio.

sometimes spending time with your children is more important than sending them off to school.

I notice Lio is playing fair this time and not using his dragon bomber (of course, his dad was nice enough to pretend it was an official snow day even though it wasn’t……..)

living in denial—

which is just south of Fargo

caucel Facebook is just not my thing, but maybe some of theothers here are interested.

:-)

Ya margueritem, I dont see you in Mark Tatulli facebook list of friend, so I imagine that you dont like facebook things,

Well I dont exactly enjoy it too, but it is funny sometimes.

Maybe someday GoComics do a chat for fans… anyway is just for say hello to friends! hehehe! : )

¨so Caucel you are only 2 hours (or so) earlier than Ohio time. (according to your post 5 hours ago it was 1 am it’s 740 here now)¨

Well lamourdelafantom I think that Costa Rica had - 6 GTM.

Since you never see Lio’s dad working, I like to imagine he’s got a bit of a talent as an inventor also (which is where Lio gets it from) and invented something or somethings that enabled him to retire comfortably. He certainly never seems to lack for money to buy Lio things. I would postulate that perhaps Lio’s mom died during from the result of an invention gone wrong, but that’s going too dark for me.

See, this is what I love about Lio. He may sometimes drive his dad nuts, but every now and then we find out how much Dad loves Lio.

I wish I had that dad!

“This just in: All businesses and schools are closed today due to it being too good a day to waste.”

Three cheers for Dad! What a wonderful plan of his.

Dad put on the rest of his clothes? I’ve never seen him in normal attire.

What is it about this strange little boy and his equally strange dad that always make me smile? Great choice to make on a snowy day!

With homeschooling, there was never a NEED to have a snow day, but I’d call one if there was enough snow to play in. (Ice storms don’t count.) Of course, that was just really outdoor P.E. day plus science experiments involving snow, so it was technically still a school day - I just cancelled most of the indoor subjects for the day.

yeah, i guess so caucel :) i’m not really one for networking. i don’t do facebook at all. i also suffer from a rare condition called dial up.

don’t i KNOW it! my dad was a creep. he sent me to school sick 1 time just because he didn’t want to have me in the house during the day (2nd shift) and they had to call him to demand he come get me. not only was it excrutiatingly embarrasing, but i ended up sicker because of it too! jerk. i wish i had Lio’s dad!

go to school!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BEST. DAD. EVER!!!!!
