Lio by Mark Tatulli for August 26, 2012

Aw, a friendly tree.

This strip is a like a Rorschach test. Is the tree giving Lio a push or waiting to eat him?

Treebeard in his later years.

wasn’t that tree last seen in the Wizard of Oz?

Lio needs a friend! And Woody is it (I like the spider and web, too). —Ain’t Nature grand?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJ8twAamdkI – Disney’s “Flowers and Trees”, 1932. Please, if you have never seen this, you must watch; the story and clever animation are over the top.

Zing!

Hairlip!

Have fun!

What are those things hanging from the tree?

I am so amazed by trees. Like us, every one is an individual.

Wonderful concept and georgous artwork. Love how the ropes are on two different branches, a nod to Terry Prachett perhaps? So sad he is sick.

I love the tree! It reminds ME of the old Fruitpie trees that used to be in some of the McDonald’s in the 80’s.

Love It!
