Originator ” Mark Tatulli ” Intro :
Lio was created by a well-known American cartoonist Mark Tatulli who expanded the borders of traditional comic strips by introducing surreal and visually stunning comics that convey compelling and provoking stories through beautiful pantomime illustrations.
He is also a great writer and animator known for his offbeat humor, clear visual gags, and imaginative storytelling. He had a great passion for drawing since his childhood and started drawing cartoons when he was in elementary school. He continued his passion and improved day by day until he became a prolific and skilled cartoonist.
In an interview Mark Tattoli was asked what makes comic strips resonate so much with people? He replied that I do not know the reason. I made comic strips just to entertain myself and pictured my childhood in these comic strips. But readers love different things about Leo that explore the fun yet bizarre realm of imagination of a young child who still believes in magic and monsters that we all have.
Awards and Accolades :
Mark Tatulli was awarded the Newspaper Comic Strip Award by the National Cartoonists Society in 2008 for his unique and unrivaled comic strips. Clink editor, the editor of Lio’s comic strips says that Leo is much more than a complex and luxurious comic strip that is full of humor, wonders, and fears. He said that it is enjoyable to observe each day that is a fully comprehended and self-contained moment in itself and because of Mark’s skills to capture that moment so perfectly, you can lose yourself and enter into the bizarre and funny world of life and take it all in.
