Lio by Mark Tatulli for December 09, 2009

Oh, won’t Dad be surprised…… not to mention thrilled…

Hahahahahah!

Looked like he was having a mighty fine dream there too…

Poor Dad! xD

Ahhhhh … I love the smell of polka in the morning!

I wondered how Lio able to convince Cybil to be part of the band :P

Aw, there’s always room for a good oompa band.

I wonder how Lio got Cybil to wear the lederhosen & alpine hat !

Dad is REALLY gonna hit the ceiling!

docT’s new wake up call???

We’re the Lederhosen Oompa Band with your morning wake-up call!

They are going to oompah papa

Remind me of the Count Duckula Bavarian Band.

A tape recording of bagpipes and drums is much more effective. (trust me)

Because it’s all about the costume

Watch it Lio! Dad’s gonna do a slap dance with you when he wakes up. Still, everyone loves a polka.

Nothing like a little “oom-pah” music to get you going in the morning!

well, Cybil would have done it when he told her what the plan was becauase its both cruel AND unusual. there’s just SOMETHING about lederhosen that makes normally sane people insane. imagine what effect it must have on HER. can we do the fish slapping dance as an encore?

And a ONE, and a TWO, and a…

One, two, THREE….

“Ven Der Fuhrer says, ‘Ve ist der Master Race…..’ Ve HEIL! (Pflllt!) Ve HEIL! (Pflllt!) Right in Der Fuhrer’s face.”

Who among us doesn’t enjoy waking up to the relaxing tones of oompah music?

The Beer Barrel Polka? Although no one in my house wore lederhosen, my mother used to turn on the Polka Joe Radio Show early on a Saturday morning. Waking up to oompah music is not a treat.

i should have gotten that band to wake up my sons for school

I wonder if Lio likes Weird Al’s music?

All Lio needs is a bagpiper and a banjo and he’ll have the makings of DEFPOTEC - the World’s Most Dangerous Band! And what a way to wake up!

Just don’t give the squid a bagpipe - this is a family strip.

I can give Lio some great ideas! Just ask Doc!

I guess Lio isn’t expecting any presents from Santa or Dad this year.

Roll out the barrels…we’ll have barrels of fun…

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-CO-LA!!!!

love the hats – i want a Lio hat!

Oh yes, Simon_Jester. That Donald Duck WWII cartoon.

I would like to get in touch THOSE German roots of mine than just the Amish roots (the lederhosen and such, not Nazism).

Hmmmm - one would think that Dad would have taken up sleeping with hearing protection and black out shades a while back… living with Boy Lio and all.

Great Strip!!!

Darn! All the good puns and funny comments have already been used up! –Can I be the band’s agent?

I think children were the first alarm clocks.

Some of the comments are as funny as the strip! :o))

Er, sorry MT… almost as funny. xD

Lio’s about to learn some new words. 8)

“In Munchen gibst ein Hofbrauhaus, ein, zwei, zufa!”

Oom-Pah-Pah! Oom-Pah-Pah!

Wunnerful, wunnnerful!

All the clever comments have been used up, so I’ll just say: I Love This Strip! :) “Lio” is funny in general, and today’s “edition” just gets funnier every time I look at it.

I think Lio’s watching too much Urkel

te van a pijear!
