Lio by Mark Tatulli for July 08, 2009

Don’t think the cephalopod is quite as thrilled as you are, Lio.

Squishy (a.k.a. Ishmael) isn’t enjoying the game as much as Lio is….

Maybe that’s because he been out of water to long.

Well, I hope Ismael gets to throw the rings at Lio too.

squid toss from wham-o…

Lio should read some Jeff Vandermeer for more happy squid games.

Poor cephalopod.

One upon a time there was an unusual kingdom in which everything and everybody is pointed - except for a young boy named Oblio…

Anyone up for a game of Triangle Toss?

Oh no, the poor cephalopod! Do you think Tatulli is ending the strip!?!

Wow poor Ishmael ;) Nice the first panel, great draw.

How nice can be has a cephlapod of friend… I wanna has a good friend like Ishmael.

No, plainwater, Mark dont is ending the strip, him tell us it yesterday.

Long live to Lio!

;)

10 points if you get it around his arm. 50 points if you get it around his head.

I hope they get to switch places soon!

@Ji2m: I think it could also be a look of quiet acceptance…

@ caucel from 2 days ago…

(Lio dont had a nose, I think that never him has it!)

…..well, he’s certainly got one today!! All the better to smell the cephalopod with, lucky Lio ;-)

Thanks Mark, love today’s strip - their faces are priceless :-)

Is rigth… him has nose today, so weird!!!!!!!!!!! I need see it since the begining for see how much lio has a nose in the strip ;)

Ok, I see the trick, for Lio fans… Lio with mouth close dont has nose, but when him open mouth him has nose.

Is rigth Mark?

I think that is a good trivia question for Lio fans. ;)

Or maybe it’s that Lio has no lips?

Caucel, Lio always has a nose. He doesn’t always have a mouth!

Hey TheWildSow is absolutely spot on!!! so caucel, you can always see Lio’s little button nose, whether he has his mouth open or not :-)

Well can be true… but in some strip him smile, without open the mouth lol

Maybe him smile with nose lol I dont know, there are lot strip before and it like a mouth ;)

At least they didn’t start a game of lawn darts!!
