Lio by Mark Tatulli for August 29, 2008

What exactly does Lio’s dad do for a living? Other than occasionally venturing out of doors in his boxer shorts, that is.

I just always assumed he was a trust fund child.

Although maybe he’s a cartoonist.

maybe he’s an eyepatch salesman

I dunno, but judging by that tube-TV with the antique antenna, whatever he does, he ain’t making one whole lot o’ bread.

Something tells me he spends a lot of his time:

1 In therapy off camera

2 Speaking to the police about Lio’s Antic d’jour

3 Sitting in court re: what Lio did last week, month, year …

And this one. I love his face in panel 3.

maybe lio supports the family with vegetable masks rockets potions Cybill catnip inventions and etc

Let’s see, the dad in this comic hangs around in his boxers during the day, occasionally travels outside, and doesn’t make much money. He’s most likely a writer.

lio makes all the money with his inventions
