Lio by Mark Tatulli for November 08, 2009

Poor Mark, he coffeed them to death….

Love the artwork! The Zombie’s expression is just so perfect.

(Of course, do Zombie’s ever look any different)

Zombie scalded by spilt coffee. Lio running scared. Ishmael stunned…. Dagnab that clumsy cartoonist!

Waaaaaaaaay too much creamer in that coffee, assuming it is coffee.

robot behind zombie gonna fry!

Love that mug!

been a while since i’ve been on here but it was SO intense i HAD to.

i HATE it when that happens. got your bit almost done and your industrial strength morning pickmeup ruis a whole days’ work.

yah looks like he has his cream and sugar with a just a hint of coffee like my dead husband.

I wonder if the gang over at Pinkerton thought o’ that one or getting rid of THEIR Zombies.

I think Lio is fine with the zombie, but the coffee (is that really coffee??) is what scares him.

Lio needs no caffeine

Good one Mark.

Mark, is that YOUR coffee mug, for real?

It kind of looks like Scotch. I drink straight 12 year old Scotch out of a coffee mug all the time.

Could be tea. That’s what color my Irish Breakfast turns if you add even a tiny bit of milk.

Oh no Doc’s coffee has been turned into a skinny Vente caramel frappuccino.

Later, Lio looked at the bodies of his dead friends, then raised his face and fist to the heavens and cried, “Curse you, Starbucks! I will have revenge!”

Would a careless cartoonist keep a cup of water on the desk to clean his brushes?

Where can I get a mug like that? It’s beautiful!

Oh wait, I bet Mark made it himself at one of those do-it-yourself ceramic studios. Good work!

fantastic – mark can see into the future with his pen.

I would say that it’s not a coffee mug rather it is a brush cleaning mug. Depending on what he uses for coloring the sunday strips it could be water or paint thinner (my guess is water).

Hey Mark, I’m wondering if this is an homage or blatant rip off of Eric Powell’s ‘The Goon’ comic and characters.

To quote a famous movie… “Not the Diiiip!”

Thank you Roger & Jessica Rabbit, wherever you may be.

A little coffee with your creamer? lol

Nice save adding the mug, very creative.

I like lots of creamer in my coffee also.

If he made the coffee darker, we wouldn’t be able to see the zombie, etc.

That’s coffee? Looks kinda like beer.

Coffee spill! Evacuate the strip!
