Sometimes I feel “Lio” might lean a bit too heavily on the pop culture references but I must admit it has become one of the only new strips in recent memory that I look for.

Ouch!

That’s creepy.

Lio is starting to fill that void in my soul left by the end of Calvin & Hobbes.

Huh… This strip doesn’t really do it for me.
Maybe the cartoonist hasn’t hit his stride yet.

Once Tatulli evolves past his Tim Burton/Edward Gorey wannabe phase, he just might reach Charles Addams wannabe status.

Quiet Desparation, you don’t know how right you are. :-)

Geesh look at that kid in the second panel, his head is completely on backwards! That alone is creepy enough for me! It’s rare to find a comic strip that is funny AND well drawn. I too miss Calvin and Hobbes.

Used to be you’d never see a strip like this outside the pages of Mad Magazine or National Lampoon. Now here it is, sharing space with Marmaduke and Rex Morgan. So-called “sick” humor has gone completely mainstream.

A strip like this may have run in Lampoon in the early 1970’s, but it wouldn’t have eclipsed any cartoons in a similar vein done by the great Charles Rodrigues.
