Lio by Mark Tatulli for May 09, 2011

Lio proves that it works!

Uh oh?!….

Eat your heart out superman.

Lio, meet Gravity; Gravity, Lio.

Yeah, I’d feel a little more comfortable if he were further out from and higher than the building. But this is Lio we’re talking about.

That’s one motivational poster too many!

Yes you can move mountains if only you believe!

The power of positive thinking. It doesn’t stack up so well when it goes up against the power of gravity.

I’m guessing he has his jet pack on as back up

Lio defies reality…Don’t TRY THIS AT HOME KIDS!

That’s not flying!!! It’s falling…WITH STYLE!! xD

@Jazzy You can move mountains if you have a big enough bulldozer ;-)

In the words of Indiana Jones, “Fly? Yes. Land? No!”

What goes up, must come down.

Hi, I’m from the office Sue em, Screw em. and Rue em.

Kinda sums up my opinion of all the “feel good” pablum our kids are force fed in schools around here.

An apple can never be an orange and sometimes it sucks to admit you won’t be the best (or even good) at something you love to do.

It’s better to learn to be ok with what you are rather than be fooled into believing you can be something you’re not.

In order to fly, you must throw youself at the ground… And miss. Arthur - Galaxy Hitchhiker

Sniff Dale Carnegie would be so proud.

Maybe it is Lio’s dream sequence!

Lio’s entire life is a dream sequence.

He’ll soon feel the hard facts of reality..

Lio is about to learn Newton’s Law of Gravity… The “hard” way.

No! With such a fabulous look of joyous belief (and some pixie dust) Lio will find no such boundaries!

…yeah, that’s the problem I’ve always had with those kinds of posters too. At the end of the day, there’s such a thing as too much chirpy optimism.

The 2nd Lio Book “Silent But Deadly” is just $5.20 http://amzn.to/hxbKAJ

but … they’re only 12 left … hurry!

Maybe Lio should try the smaller stuff first, like changing his clothes in a phone booth.

♫ ♪ I believe I can fly ♪ I believe i can touch the sky..♫

Obey gravity. It’s the law. Not subject to amendment or repeal!

When we lived in a small apartment, my 2 brothers had a bunkbed and I had a twin in a tiny bedroom with a window. My youngest brother was “Zooperman” and thought he could fly. He jumped off the top bunk onto the twin and into the window. (There was just enough room to walk between the beds.) Love to razz him about that.

If anybody can do it, it’s Lio!

This one just might hurt!

dang it madmarge i was going to post that

uh oh!

wheres the spandexevery super hero has spandex!!!!

Ishy!!

I’m going to assume he stayed above the ground. I’m just going to assume.

I’m glad there is no 3rd panel here!

Yeah… My uncle died doing this… Would be a little better if he was further up and out from the building. But artists gotta art.

He believes he can fly. But he can’t touch the sky

Splat.
