Lio by Mark Tatulli for July 06, 2009

Only his eyes and nose are left…. He disappeared yesterday, too…..

Mark, are you ending this strip?

It’s probably just “Vanishing Week” on the Weird Kid TV Network.

Quickcement! Danger! (Lio, you should read and heed those warning signs!)

What’ll be next quicksand or a deep tar pit.

Makes ya wonder – what else is down there…

I have heard of quicksand. Quick cement sounds even worse.

poor lio! he’s disappearing everyday.he seems quite calm for sinking in wet cement

step on Lio’s eye’s, You’ll take your eyes out kid……….

“Mark, are you ending this strip?”

Wow, I hope not. Favorite strip ever.

Shouldn’t there be a hint of Lio’s quiff in the last panel just to identify him? Is Lio’s hairstyle a reference to Tintin?

And I was the only kid in the neighborhood with a quicksand pile!

The_JAM : he better not well… lio could always live with calvin

End the strip? Right after winning a Reuben? I seriously doubt it.

if he was scared, he would have screamed.

I agree with Simon, I just can’t see it, unless Mark is going to pull a Bill Watterson maneuver on us…..now there’s a guy who needs a serious slap upside the noggin for quitting on his fans right at the peak of his comics popularity……but I’m not bitter.

The reports of LIO’s demise are greatly exaggerated. LIO may appear to “die” from time to time within the context of his panels, but he always comes the next day to begin anew. Not to worry, LIO plans to stay around as long as newspapers do.

Thanks Mark, I knew LIO would be okay. This is LIO’s world and this kind of stuff just happens. He won’t be stuck there forever.

Mark - thanks for the words of comfort…up until that “as long as newspapers do”….

Newspapers? What are newspapers? Sounds Neolithic.

It’s too warm for an overcoat and too dry to need boots - so maybe Lio is heading to the new construction of an alternative world.

“Not to worry, LIO plans to stay around as long as newspapers do.”

Oh God thanks Mark! We are really worried thinking in a Lio death. ;)

Hey Mark if newspaper withdraw Lio (I dont think so that it happen) ever exist the Internet. Dont forget fans, we need Lio each day.

In the last panel Lio still smile… lol him is great!

caucel that be Lio’s nose, not his mouth!

Lol OpenWings… Lio dont had a nose, I think that never him has it !

hehehehe!

Kindle? I think in a neetbook or a Iphone 4 generation… or a psp app ;)

I’ve seen handprints and footprints in cement–

but this is NEW

a new lios fan

This reminds me of a story I once read about a kid who tried to sign his initials in wet cement and was sucked in, leaving only perfectly smooth footprints. As soon as I saw this… brrr…
