Lio by Mark Tatulli for December 18, 2010

Beautiful, Lio.

I lost my mom too. Thanks for this.

:’(

Merry Christmas, Mom. We miss you.

;( it’s beautiful….lio tht’s very very CUTE!!!

She is smiling down at you, Lio.

Simply beautiful and thoughtful.

Nice & touching, Leo

Lio isn’t always so weird. Sweet.

As long as we remember our dead, they are still with us.

awwww

Oh Lio, words fail me.

He’s a sweetheart, despite it all.

She’s still with you, Leo. She always will be.

ahhhhh

Where’s the tissue … Classic Lio moment.

lost my mom 6 years ago today. thanks for this.

Please don’t shoot me, but it’s a little over commercialized. A Charlie Brown Christmas Tree would’ve said it all…Merry Christmas!!!

The good thing about dreams it that my parents often join me in them.

What did Lio do to his mom? They never say how she died.

This makes up for ALL the nasty stuff you’ve done during the year.

MERRY CHRISTMAS MOM :-}

this a sweet gesture. how very touching.

I never thought I’d see the day when a Lio cartoon could bring a tear to my eye.

Wonderful Mr. Tatulli…simply wonderful

beautiful!

Good show, Lio.

I think last year’s was sweeter.

That is so poignant. I never knew Lio had it in him…

I wonder if Mark lost his Mom too. Lio could be an extension.

Good old LIO

sniff – i’m leaking!

Reading these comments brings a tear to my eye. I lost my mother several years ago, but still miss her.

sniff

I still have my mother, but this comic is making me cry …

It has been 26y for me since I lost my mother as an adult .

I can not imagine what it is like for a child.

But Lio shows us faith and strength.

Maybe I’ve been on the internet too long, I had to look again to see that the gravestone said MOM.

Beautiful.

jml58: Thank you. It is something I told my son when he lost his Grandmas. As long as you talk about them they will never really die. We talk about how wonderful they both were very often. We also talk about how ornery they both could be. Like I said, it keeps them alive to all of us.

Dixiedamsel: I think last year’s was very sweet but I think this year Lio probably wanted to “do things up”. His mom was probably the one who “did” Christmas at home and he wanted to return the favor.

I Love Lio and I love this strip. He is a good person at heart, even to his monsters.

I lost my Mom Dec.17, 1974. I miss her every day. bless Lio’s little heart…

We lost TheWildBoar’s mom 26 years ago yesterday – thanks, Lio!

A side of Lio we don’t see enough of. (Sniff- makes me want to cry!)

Very touching.

For a kid who never talks, Lio has a way of speaking volumes to all of us.

Merry Christmas, kid.

I lost my Mom just before Christmas in 2005….it really doesn’t seem like that long ago. I really miss her.

Awwwwww!!!! What a nice message!

Beautiful, It makes me think of my mom and the wonderful times we had together.

A week ago I was talking to my dad.

dad - “I just found some solar powered xmas lights at Lowes!!” me - “What on earth do you need those for?” dad - “You don’t need to know. It’s just something I want.” me - ::thinking, thinking:: “Oh! You’re gonna put a tree on Mom’s grave aren’t you?” dad - “Well, I’d like to. Haven’t done it in a while.”

Saturday, talking to dad again…

dad - “Have you read today’s Lio yet?” me - “Nope not yet! Why?” dad - “Just make sure you’re of sound state of mind or alone when you do.” me - “What could Lio possibly do now that would require me to be sane? It’s Lio…”

Wow. I had no idea Lio would make me cry. Lio should look into those solar powered lights. She would’ve been 51 yrs old on Christmas morning. :( There’s no sound state of mind when someone misses their mommy.

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

snifftearsniff

I love this one, it’s so full of heart :)

A surprisingly touching strip. I’ve only gotten into this comic today, but I still never suspected that you would see one like this. Really beautiful.

:’) Touching.

(Don’t mean to be annoying, but man! Those Christmas trees sure grew big after he put them down)

yeah me too i cant figure out if she went to vermont or new york

:’)
