Lio by Mark Tatulli for February 23, 2024

“One Churro please!”

-18 dollars.

Bawls

Alternatively, Lio could have repulsed the English by hurling cows at them.

He must have borrowed the catapult from Hammie in “Baby Blues.” (See today’s strip.)

For a family with 2 adults and 3 kids that’d be $105 for the entry alone.

Lio: “When there’s a will, there’s a way!”

The trick is the landing. Right into a “It’s a Smallworld” teacup, 100 points!

Whheeeeeeeeeee!

He could just build his own amusement park.

Technology abounds. But isn’t Lio going the wrong way?

Thanks to Genie+, it’s almost impossible to ride the rides without entering Disney parks legitimately, unless you want to wait in long lines.

Who needs amusement park rides when you’ve got a personal catapult?

It’s really going to be amusing when he lands. Over/under on broken bones?

He’ll have fun if he survives the landing.

The catapult launch could have used a sound effect, maybe “fftwang!”

Better than any ride in the park.

When I was a kid, a guy tried to climb into Disneyland by climbing over the Monorail. When he jumped down onto the tracks, he got the shock of his life. As his spirit left his body, I imagine he looked down and thought, “Aw darn. Shoulda bought a ticket.”

Ingenious, Lio — but what if this is a park where they stamp your hand upon paying the admission price?

Lio can afford to buy a catapult, but not a ticket?

This is cheap admission. Parks around here charge much more than that.

They grow up so fast. Soon Leo will be using his catapult at Lalapalooza.

$30? How long has it been since Tatulli went to an amusement park?

A Middle Ages theme park with their own trebuchet to boot – only in Lio’s world.
