    Even though Lio knows not to inhale while blowing up a balloon, it overpowered him. This serves to demonstrate the Law of the Perversity of Inanimate Objects. Thank you, Prof. Tatulli!

    Even after deflation, I’m happy to report Liō is still rockin’ his hairstyle.

    I imagined this many times as a kid. Wonder if that partly was the cause of me disliking the concept of ballon popping.

    I noticed in the last panel, the air seems to be coming out the other end from where it went in…

    Can you really show someone getting “blown” in a comic strip?

    All you need is several other balloons laughing at him.

    Alternate 5th panel. Dad sticks a pin in Lio’s head and it pops.
