Lio by Mark Tatulli for November 17, 2016

ooks like he made a butterfly… just watch out for hunters at a duck pond

Very creative, but I would’ve used a jet pack. Balloons are too easily deflated.

Another fun day for Lio.

I love the creativity in this strip. The ability to tell a cohesive narrative in 2-3 panels is challenging enough, but doing it without dialogue is a talent unto itself.

The stinger was a nice touch ;)

How much helium is in that balloon?

Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon?

Would you like to glide in my beautiful balloon?

We could flow among the stars, together you and I

For we can fly, up, up and away

(For we can fly)

In my beautiful, my beautiful balloon

Bravo, Lio! I hope your landing is as good as your take-off.

A most creative example of Fun With Balloon Animals. I must look for that book in my local library!
