Lio by Mark Tatulli for April 15, 2015

What do taxes, a child, and Death have in common?

Death asking taxes to come out and play/gloat/celebrate.

“It’s for you.”

I like the fact that dad is so calm about having death at his door. It’s not everyone that can open a door and see death and not freak out.

Taxes, Lio, and Death have plenty in common! Death, a.k.a. The Grim Reaper, is one of Lio’s best friends (and vice versa). Taxes fits in there somehow, too, I’m sure….

“…in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes”. Benjamin Franklin clearly never met Lio.

Does Dad ever wear pants??

This comic is certain.

Another take: http://www.seattlepi.com/comics-and-games/fun/Mallard_Fillmore/

A “Liberty Meadows” strip had Dean meet Death at the door and nonchalantly call, “It’s for you, Frank.” Frank, bedridden and unaware who it was, replied, “Tell them I gave at the office.”

Uh oh!

This would have been funnier if Lio — excuse me, Liō — had answered the door and referred Death to a cartoon icon of Taxes in panel 3.

i love dad’s savoir faire with his kid’s life style.beautiful

Only nine days to go until Tax Freedom Day®. This year, Tax Freedom Day® falls on April 24, or 114 days into the year. In 2001, it was 101 days into the year..Feeling any better now?

@Bruno ZeigertsYou said, “Challenge him to a game of battleship.”That brought to mind Ingmar Bergman’s 1958 film “the Seventh Seal”., Disillusioned Swedish knight Antonius Block (Max von Sydow) returns home from the Crusades to find his country in the grips of the Black Death, he challenges Death (Bengt Ekerot) to a chess match for his life. Death gets the black pieces, of course.
