Save Lio!


Cooper has been a fan of the Dallas Morning News comics section since he was 4. His morning ritual is to wake up, sit at the kitchen table, find the comics and read the section over breakfast. He saves his favorite comic strip, Lio, for last.

Lio is a mischevious science-loving kid who takes care of animals, aliens and monsters. He constantly outwits his single dad and gives fits to teachers and fellow students.

Today is a sad day at our house, as the Morning News cut out 14 strips as part of a cost-cutting, paper-saving measure. Lio has been kicked out. But all hope is not lost. Readers are invited to vote back one of the 14 strips.

We've already voted here. Each IP address can vote just once between now and Oct. 15. If you have just a minute and don't have another preference, please go here and choose Lio!
