Wordless?

The comic strip Liō is often amusing, sometimes hilarious, and as a bonus features probably the best dad in comics. But I remember being told it 'didn't have words'. Tatulli himself has said:
Nothing will be lost in translation…because there is no translation! Heck, you don't even have to know how to read! Truly a comic for all peoples of the earth!
Yeah. Not so much.

There's no dialog, but you very often have to be able to read - labels on boxes, for instance. Or take today's strip:

clown and giant ant fight over which movie to watch while Liō watches in disgust
If you can't read that television set, you don't get the joke. At all.
