Lio by Mark Tatulli for March 19, 2018

Walking a werewolf in the middle of the night? I thing chasing the first cat on sight is less hazardous… oh wait, never mind.

“Hm…werewolf? Here, boy. There you are.”

Full moon = walkies time!

Werepup?

Who’s a good werewolf?

He’s not wearing clothes now. When the moon goes away, we’ll get another kind of moon.

We had a shepherd-retriever mix when I was growing up. My dad walked to keep in shape and Jake would usually tag along with him. This comic captures, for all the world, the look on Jake’s face if he even suspected Dad was getting ready to go out for a walk.

“Werewolf?”.“There wolf!”

—from ‘Young Frankenstein’

You know, that kinda explains a lot of my unanswered questions about Lio.

Looks like Lio wants to go for a walk as a dog!

He’s a well-behaved werewolf, at least…

You can tell Lio’s dad is getting numb to this when he sees his son is a werewolf and wants walksies and he looks like he’s thinking, “So what else is new?”

Let’s see… how would one use a pencil to depict a boy turning into a werewolf in five little pictures… um… well… VOILA!!!

Since when is Lio a lycanthrope?

C’mon, Dad! You know the routine. Happens every full moon! And Lio is such a well-behaved werewolfling….

Yeah, Dad! You might run into Angua von Überwald! (or at least Ludmilla Cake)

It’s a marvelous night for a Moondance.
