Lio by Mark Tatulli for May 23, 2009

Lio, you’re a mean widdle kid!

Yeah, that’s just cold.

Lio isn’t cold - he is an environmentalist! He knows that those helium balloons will be released - intentionally or accidentally - and sail away to harm all manner of wildlife. So he is doing what he can to protect the sea life and birds. Good for him!

those poor balloons never had a chance

He better make sure he brings spare rubber bands and plenty of ammo. :)

Good luck at the Reuben Awards Mark! Lio is up for “Best Newspaper Strip” along with one of my other faves “Pearls Before Swine” and one I’m not familiar with “Cul de Sac”.

It says “Free Balloon” not “All you can take balloon fiasco”.

Hugh - Check out Cul de Sac here. http://www.gocomics.com/culdesac

All 3 are very worthy candidates.

Didn’t Lio do this a couple months ago and popped the vendor’s head?

What’s mean about it? Every kid who has his balloon popped gets another one free.

Does anyone else feel like singing the Men Without Hats song “Pop Goes the World”?

HEHEHEHEHE LIO RULES

Humm…rubber bands, balloons, innocent children…Gee! I wonder what could possibly happen???

Lio must really hate balloons. This is the third comic of him popping balloons.

spongebob had free ballon day i thought it was made up
