Lio by Mark Tatulli for June 29, 2012

Aw, so sweet.

are you suspecting Lio decapitated his own mother?!

He ought to keep his mom in a vase, like I do.

I wonder if we’ll ever get a story about his mom.

@Invisibleshame on you! Lio probably bought it when the Halloween stuff was marked 70% off. Very sweet strip.

Lovely !

Mom deserves a bigger tombstone. I love little Ishy in the last panel.

This really shows how much little kiddoes feel when they lose a mom (or dad)…Lio always remembers his mom. Little Squiddy wins the empathy award….aaaahhhhh.

Awww [sniff]. How does this strip managed to be cute and creepy at exactly the same time?

I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

:( I don’t have a squid to take when I visit my mom

Ishy was mentioned in Sherman’s Lagoon today.

@Dogsniff: At least it isn’t a mom and pop place yet.good one.

Aww

@ Plods with Beer ditto

cool, cool, cool

This made me tear up. How sweet.

Always wondered where his mom was.

Now I have to call my Mom and tell her that a comic strip about a boy and his squid made me miss her.

@snowleopard

Agreed, how doe Mark do that?

Awesome strip today. Love the last panel.

Aww poor Lio. A life long friendship cemented by a tentacle.

instant classic — thank you MT

That’s Lio’s mother’s grave. So far this has been a mystery for sometime. How did she died?

Excellent

It’s amazing. Every time Mom shows up in this strip, someone starts peeling onions nearby.

I don’t think @invisible meant it maliciously. He/she was just following a line of thought

Our friends and family are always in our hearts and minds. Graves are just places that contain empty shells.

Was wondering if he had a mother or not.

No pun. Just tears.

That’s why I love this strip, it can be sweet and funny with a little creepy on the side, all at once. It’s very rare to find true talent in this world, keep it up Mr. Tatulli.

awww

i still have my mom, but i lose a little more of her every day.

Lovely. Thanks, Mark.

I feel bad for Liō
