I downloaded today’s Lio strip for Sunday’s LOL page — but it just happens that today was also the day Cathy Guisewite
announced that the Cathy strip would end in October.

Several people sent me the Lio strip as a CIDU, asking whether perhaps the second and third panel had been reversed.
Nicole sent it with this comment:
It took a couple of readings to get this one. At first I thought that panels two and three were out of order. Then upon subsequent readings I realized that this was a take on the Ninja slicing at a candle SO fast that it stays together for a time before falling apart. The question I have is, did anyone else see this strip out of order and if it is that easy to misinterpret does it actually work as a comic?
My answer to her question(s) are “Yes, several,” and “It worked for me, but YMMV.”
And
one day late …

1) I thought syndicated newspaper comics had a three-week lead time with no exceptions (which is why “tribute” strips always appear en masse 21 days or so after a celebrity’s death)
2) Nice to see Farrah getting some attention
3) Interesting how it took so few pen strokes for Mr. Tatulli to evoke that famous poster.

I guess it’s time to start up a special section for comic strips that aren’t likely to be understood by anybody who isn’t, well, old enough to remember those Hey Kids! Comics! signs

I’m not really clear what the Prince of Darkness (or is that just one of his princelings?) really adds to the joke here…

Okay, I know it’s only January, but this one might be my “Lol of the Year”:


lol with a side of Ewww:

Nicole sent this to me as an Arlo Page candidate, but I voted it lol status:

Another lol that borders on Arlo territory — though I’m beginning to think that sufficiently creepy comics should start getting a Lio tag:

Keera Ann Fox:

More lol comics
