Lio by Mark Tatulli for July 27, 2011

Way too big LIO!

There’s nothing Li’l about him.

how did you get so big, lio?

I heard of a boy going through a growth spurt, but that’s ridiculous.

Isn’t Lio young for puberty’s growth spurt?

For once Lio looks a bit sheepish!

Never managed to accomplish that (or anything near it) with my Gilbert chemistry set, way back when. But Lio has damaged the cartoon frame. I imagine Tatulli will make him pay for that….

dad don’t look that surprise!

Li’l chemist set????

Er Dad, about the grocery budget————

He also grew fatter.

Lio isn’t growing… the comics section of the paper is SHRINKING! Oh noes!

You didn’t hook up the doll!

Great Lio! Do you know how much comic panel repair go’s for these day?

Size matters?!. . ..

That drawing of Lio looks very Gahan Wilson-ish.

Dad, give Lio a little E-Lax…and stand back…WAY back

Time to go Rampage Lio!

WHY is Lio looking afraid, when he’s big enough to use his father for a swizzle stick?

( And I can’t wait for his first encounter with a bully. )

…And the ones that Mama gives youDon’t do anything at all,

Lio made a big mistake…

Lio was photoshopped, he’s not actually that BIG.

Oh great, he broke the fourth wall.

Hey Lio, watch where you’re sticking that cowlick — there’s someone in the strip upstairs!!!

Looking at Lio’s position and the awkward grin on his face, I think I know what happens next… and I really hope there are no open flames in the immediate area.

Someone discovered Pym Particles…LOL

I did that back in th 60’s once with my first chem set. Hurt my head. Too much hippy spinach.

Dad looks like he thinks Lio is getting too big for this sort of thing.

And Liō’s getting laaaaaaaarger!

Release!……..The KRAKEN!

Didn’t Mickey Rooney in “The Twilight Zone” teach you anything, Lio?

I love how he broke the line!
