Lio by Mark Tatulli for July 21, 2013

Ahhhh, a boy and his killbot …

Name him Overkill; seems he’s capable of it.

In just seven days, I can make you a friend.

So few people really mean it when they say they made a new friend….Lio’s Kevin is heavily armed with a variety of large and small missiles, a left-hand cannon, pincers, and spikes galore, not to mention twin Gatling-gun ears/earrings. Kevin the Destroyer, to give him his full name!

“I’m going to call him… Hymie! … He’s MY robot – I can call him what I like!”

that’s one of my new favorite Lio strips hands down.

I never use welding equipment to make friends.

Just like we used to sing at camp: “Make new friends / But keep the old / You might need them for spare parts.”

There was a certain stress factor involved in going to camp.

say hello to my little friend….

Call him Rod “Robot of Death”

I see.

Confused-why did he give it a male name, with those 3 dangerous weapons on its chest?

Dr. Mel from Brewster Rockitt as a boy.

Maybe he’ll make a robot and call it Lio.

My new Friend is Lio!

I wish I could make friends as easily as Lio does.

Know what Kevin there needs? More dakka!

They will get along well
