Lio by Mark Tatulli for June 05, 2012

I’m missing something here…

Calvin should hire them to scare the bajesus out of Susie.

This is where Lio learns the utility of pepper spray. The hard way.

What ya wanna bet their combined efforts will have no effect on Eva…?

I think that after that mutual standoff, Cybil and Lio have agreed by hand/pawshake on a pact to "get’ some victim, such as that poor girl blithely strolling down the sidewalk…..

Back at cha.

no, can’t be right, look at their eyes – they seem both to be frightened of her.

My guess is that while neither of them are scared by vampires, they’re both afraid of sugar and spice.

I love Panel #1…aww

We are going to vote on the meaning of this strip. Please Mark :) your ballots. Check for hanging chads. The recount will start tomorrow.

I think I feel sorry for this little girl.

I guess Lio and the cat are afraid of the normal, happy, well-adjusted girl.

I think they are afraid of her; viz: their eyes.

It’s either a pact, as stated above, or Cybil is giving Lio lessons and, like a good teacher, checking for understanding.

I scare you, you scare me, but together we’re both still scared spitless by the smiley little girl with the page-boy bob.

Get ready to scare!

Every good actor re-hearse-es before the big opening, especially if you’re unCybil.

It’s simple. They were both showing each other their ability to scare, congratulating each other on having got it, and then going out to jointly scare people passing by

I hope she’s got her Snuggies on

they have big eyes cuz people look a bit scarier with big eyes or they are concentrating hard
