oh my

First off, an observation regarding today's Lio.


The gag is a fairly standard Lio gag (and I mean that in a good way, of course), but why is the TV propped up on its side? If it was related to the gag, I would understand, but as it is, it's just plain weird. Then again, "just plain weird" is standard fare in Lio, so the real answer could very well be "just because".

Now, some time ago, Matt did this thing where he isolated a panel from a strip to show how odd some panels might seem without the necessary context. I don't think "odd" is quite the word to describe the result of taking a panel out of context from today's Pickles.


Um... yeah, I'll just let you mull that one over for awhile.

edit: When I first typed up this entry and did a "preview" everything looked like it was supposed to, but then after I published it I discovered that some layouts played havoc with the properly accented title of the strip "Lio", since it's not standard ASCII, so I replaced it with a plain "o". In doing this edit, I tried to link to the Wikipedia article, but Blogger's interface replaced the accented "o" with a question mark in the link, so all I can suggest is to go to the article of the obscure Belgian pop star, and click the relevant link near the top of the page.
