Lio by Mark Tatulli for January 13, 2012

Lio has that magic.

HI, yo …‘horsie’, away !

lio’s dad is definitely looking different, younger maybe

That’s Lio’s dad?!? I thought we had gone into the future and see what Lio would look like grown up.

He changed somewhere after the new year. Can’t tell if there’s a meaning. Old dad looked a bit haggard, maybe?

Did Lio’s dad get a nose job?

I wonder how many dimes Lio had to feed into the electric horsie to convince it to ride off into the sunset with him? Panel 1 is such a Frederic Remington moment!

Lio’s Dad looks like TinTin in this strip.

The strip being from 2006 explains a lot

Any way Mark can make him like that after he resumes thecomic? We like him better that way!

It’s the Lio Ranger!

Wow, I haven’t seen one of those step-plates at a grocery store in years… no, decades!

Looks like he is having the best day ever with Phineas & Ferb.

Is Heart of the City on repeats too?

Nice to see Lio’s dad wearing something half-decent.

Whew. Just a repeat. I thought Lio riding off into the sunset meant another strip was ending.

Lio’s Dad looks like Dagwood before he married Blondie.

Oh, repeats. I thought we were being introduced to Lio’s big brother. (Which would be superfluous, he has his slacker dad to annoy. No need for a slacker big bro.)

Wow, only 10 cents for a ride? That’s cheap these days!

i just noticed. dad wears Berkies.

Somebody got his dime’s worth!

Mark must have sat outside his local grocery store to draw the second panel. The detail of everything is very good. Hiyo Lio!

This reminds me of that Phineas and Ferb episode where they hype up a little rocket ride outside of Googleplex mall.

I liked the old dad better. Mr. Tatulli, please change him back.

Lio is having a night mare!

The last week or so the strips have been repeats. Is the strip ended, or is Mark on vacation, or what? Anyone know?

I like old dad….
