no candy till you listen, Kate

Meanwhile, in a “sincere” pumpkin patch . . . .

Clayton truly enjoys the holiday for more than just candy.

“Oh, brother!”

This reminds me of an old song my Dad used to sing to me,

G’wan home, yer mother is callin’.

Yer fadder is out in the garbage can.

G’wan home, yer mother is callin’,

They’ve come to cerlect yer ol’ man!

High today, withdrawal tomorrow and for next 1 week.

I want to know what happened after yesterdays strip, how is Clayton still able walk?

I’m concerned about Sis, she looks so depressed and uncaring that the day has arrived. By the end of the night a certain young bro, may lose his fro. He will rue the day he missed with her!!!. ❤

I messed up!

Looks like Katy’s planning to stay home. She probably doesn’t want to be seen with her over-the-top brother.

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I love seeing the homes in my neighborhood decorated for the season (Halloween is the second most decorated holiday in the US, the most decorated being Christmas), I love walking through the neighborhood in the early evening checking out the Trick or Treaters. I live in a building with few children, so I don’t have to give out treats myself. That said, I think the Trick or Treaters in my neighborhood are adorable. And I’m usually able to score some free candy myself. I also like the spooky motif of the holiday as well. Monsters don’t scare me as long as they aren’t real.

Cosplay is more special when done only once a year. (Also less annoying.) :)

Kid sounds like he’s ready to be introduced to The Shining.

Thankfully, tomorrow Clayton should be back to “normal.”

I was expecting her to come up with a suitable payback for Clayton scaring her so bad.

The River Styx. The boatman’s name is Charon. See the paintings of the Isle of the Dead online—spooky.

Like the rivers of Babylon.

Once again we did not get any trick or treaters. Lived in an apartment for 10 years – we had one set of 2 girls come trick or treating once – but figured it was because no children in the apartment complex and other local families did not know people in the complex.

Have lived in our house over 30 years. NO trick or treaters in all that time. While not true in earlier years we have 2 children in house to north and one in house to south and are a speaking basis with both families – still none.
