Lio by Mark Tatulli for August 22, 2009

Arrgh! Just like those trolls!

Reminds me of the old-time radio series that ran every pre-Christmas season, The Cinnamon Bear, which included the Scissors Soldiers. Or the ancient Greek myth of the Hydra of Lerna…. Or of people I’ve known whose tongues extrude in moments of stress (physical or mental)….

Snipping, snipping, snipping goes the scissor man.

Hey, what happened to Lio’s money breeding experiment ?

…or the Itchy & Scratchy knockoff of the Sorceror’s Apprentice.

I’m with hristoz - I want to see how the money expt worked out.

should’nt the ghost be running from lio?????????

What, a monster that doesn’t love Lio?!?

Look on the bright side! He went from a big ghost problem to a little ghost problem…

Maybe the little ghosties are trying to thank Lio for releasing them from the big ghost. Maybe?

Reminds ME of the things that hang from ceilings in Zelda: Ocarina Of Time. Lio needs a little Din’s Fire here. (See all the really useful knowledge you can pick up from having kids?)

Today’s strip is very clever. I liked it a lot especially the way Mark Tatulli drew the ghost, although I thought, and hoped, he’d stick with the money theme for a little longer

ummm why is Lio running? he is Lio

bad idea

It’s the ghost of Spongebob!!

Holy crap, Sisyphos—you’re the only one I have ever met who listened to that! When I was in middle school, one of the radio stations had a show called “when radio was” that played all the old ones. I loved it! I listened to Cinnamon Bear each night before bed that December. : D
