Welcome to Gaia! ::

I don't know about you all, but I like to have a laugh before going off to either work or class in the mornings. After I flip through the headlines and weather, I always turn towards the newspaper comics.

One comic I would like to point out in particular is Lio by Mark Tatulli. I love his comics, and find myself looking forward to his section of the comic page every morning.

In his illustrations, he does not rely upon the spoken jokes, or verbal humor expressed through speech bubbles. He instead rarely uses the speech box.

I don't really know how to explain it. I'm bad with words. . . But I rank the comic much higher than I do most other newspaper comic because it is the humor of the situation or the outcome of an event, sometimes only for visual humor (but without speech bubbles, isn't it all . . . ?)

Anyways, am I the only one who knows of this?
What do you all think of it?

i always make a habit of reading the comics in the newspaper when i'm home. and i must say, lio is one of the better ones there thesedays. i'm also partial to baby blues, zits, frazz, get fuzzy, and non sequitor. i also enjoy foxtrot, and was quite miffed when the creator stopped doing dailys (he only does sundays now). i think people under appreciate newspaper comics.

I in no way own these pictures, but am posting them in promotion of his work.

That being said, I do hope this link works....





The story lines are not always like these. Sometimes, it is riddled with the happenings of being a parent, the child's dealings with the world around him in conflict with the world of his creation, and many more.
