Although the strip isn't published in my local papers, I
really enjoy reading the comic "Lio" anytime I come across it. Lio is
like a strange hybrid between Calvin from "Calvin and Hobbes" and
"The Addam's Family" but with updated and more modern references. I
also love the fact that the strip is pretty much wordless. It adds to the charm
and makes the strip feel as though it's from a time far in the past when silent
movies were the king of entertainment. LIO'S ASTONISHING TALES FROM THE HAUNTED
CRYPT OF THE UNKOWN HORRORS is a treasury of Lio comics. It contains all the
cartoon found in the previous book collections "Happiness Is a Squishy
Cephalopod" and "Silent But Deadly." There's also some fake
advertisements thrown in and some sketches of Lio. In addition, the author
comments on the comics throughout the book and this treasury is almost worth
buying for that commentary alone. Highly recommended.
