I was never fond of Lio. His humor was always far too much about fantasizing about teaming up with monsters to overpower adults. That, or the stupidity and drunkenness of the adults. It's an inaccurate portrayal of children.

That is in poor taste. I, too, would be curious to know what Watterson thinks of it.

Lio is a very hit and miss comic strip for me. Sometimes it's pretty funny, but at least half of the time it's a repetition of the exact same formula, which has a freaky monster instead of a punchline.

I think Watterson would get a chuckle out of that. I certainly did.

I don't think it's in poor taste at all. Sure it's dark, but that's just how dark humor rolls.

Huh. C&H stopped in 1996? That's... a long time now.

I don't think it's in bad taste, it just makes me sad.

Taken with the Watterson-style trees in the background, I think it's more of an homage.
