Lio by Mark Tatulli for July 20, 2009

He’s escaped into the financial pages. He may decide that soccer doesn’t look so bad after all.

That’s quite a trick, squeezing in between the wallpaper and the other side of the wall!

Wait a second shouldn’t you see a human indentation in the wall, unless of course there must be a secret door that only Lio knows about.

I can’t blame him - I don’t like soccer, either.

He’s not between the wall and the wallpaper, he ripped his way to another page in the news paper - in other words he escaped his own comic.

Now I know what is behind the comic strip

Eva coulda used that trick yesterday

Nice, that is really nice… Ya Lio dont like soccer, nothing is perfect after all. ;)

Margueritem has reason, after see the financial news can slide to the comic strip back.

Now he’s gonna get all inky.

He needs to be careful, it could have been the obituaries back there…

Escaping into the financial section is scarier than any of Lio’s monster pals.

Dad’s probably thinkin “Where did that crack come from?”

Worse things than soccer, really. At least the U.S. makes the World Cup. Now, international hockey, that’s simple. If Canada’s at the tournament, it’s a race to see who comes in second.

I’d hide, too if I were him. What is Lio’s dad thinking? Soccer?? Please. Now if it were baseball tryouts, that would be a whole different story!

Lio could spice up a text-only section. I’d like to see what he’d do to the financial or real estate section. As to sports, I think he would do really well at swimming or gymnastics.

It would have been ironic if it had been the sports page behind there.

The tear is the same shape as Lio’s quiff–should be a dead giveaway, but Dad is a bit slow.
