A very strange comic strip I’m really starting to enjoy. Today’s Lio by Mark Tatulli.

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.

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.

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.

Love Lio—————-sometimes you have to really study it to find the humor.

I thought it would grow on me. But it never did. It is the amateur version of Gary Larson’s “The Far Side”, my all time fav.
