Lio by Mark Tatulli for May 17, 2014

Uh… no? (Must’ve been prerecorded before her passing.)

The first four panels make me want to cry, but why did he have to put a joke into the last panel?

Very touching; first time I’ve seen Lio’s Mom (even if only in a little picture). Is it enchanted? Is Mom really reaching out to Lio from The Other Side?

The Lio characters never speak. So he’s probably just hearing her in his head. He’s weird, remember.

This is the first time I recall any mention of Mom. No history ??

We know she’s dead because on Xmas Eve 2009 we saw Lio place flowers on her grave. (Or at least that’s what they want us to think.)

Dad is so…normal…that I have to think that Lio takes after mom. She probably knows Death and arranged for the gift…

boy does this hit home. the synchronicity is overwhelming. thank you marK! you have no idea…

This is one of the sweetest and touching Lio’s I’ve ever seen.

So this must be Lio’s mom. His dad must of kept one of them and decided to give it to Lio. Thank you sir.

for those of you who missed the first time we ever got any info about lio’d mother, here it is: http://www.gocomics.com/lio/2009/12/24

Comic relief? I’d say it’s a mother’s concern for her child.

“forget about the brotherly and otherly love, motherly love is just the thing for you…”

I’d give anything to hear an admonishment from my mom again.. even if it’s only in my head.

This is the pilot for yet another prequel TV series. “My Mother the Portrait”.

Now that Lio’s Mom is back, he can finally knock off this silly crusade for attention.

Why is it so dusty in here?
