Lio by Mark Tatulli for July 29, 2011

Another spell ruined by an over anxious parent.

Part of a parent’s job — keeping their kids safe from Cthulhu.

Looks like the magics gone out of this relationship.

Another smokey monster gone up in smoke….good for dad!

that lio.

Oh, Dad! Do you know how much these conjuring spells and potions cost?!

Like our government - it’s all smoke & fire extinguishers. . ..

It’s best to nip these things in the bud.

Dads have a way of spoiling some of the best fun. Like that time when I was a kid with a can of gas……

I used to set fires. My parents (both child psychologists) had a fireman come after a good fire. He gave me a red plastic fireman’s hat and some comic books about “Smokey the Firedog”. Never understood psychology.

That’s some cool headgear!

Looks like Dad CO2’d on Lio’s parade.

Yes Lio, during a drought, a fire ban applies to you too!

Miskatonic U. warded lots only!

“Sorry, Lio, but your guest had to leave because he was smoking on our property.”

Lio, try it outside next time instead of your bedroom. Maybe Dad’ll let you finish.

“never summon anything bigger than your head.”
