Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for October 31, 2010
Transcript:
Mom: Alice, I'm just as sorry as can be that you're sick, but you can't go trick-or-treating tonight. Alice: DARN. I'm going upstairs to sulk. I'll watch the other kids having fun so I can feel worse. Voice: LOOK! Up in that window! EEEK! That face! That sulky face! Alice: Huh? Voice: It's so horrible! AAGH! It's like the ghost of someone who died of sulkiness! Alice: Hee hee! Myeh! Voice: Don't let it see you! Stay away from it! Alice: Eeeeghia! Voice: Run! Warn the others! Alice: Heehee RRARGH! Mom: You feeling better? Have a piece of candy! We've got plenty - almost nobody came to our house tonight. Alice: What a great Halloween!

Ironically, this is how my little girl spent this halloween. Aside from the scary sulkiness at the window, that is.

Alice improvises her way to a great Halloween! Good for Alice! (Beware the Sulky Ghost!)

Flagged 6 shoe-spammers and one flagged-spammer here.
This cartoon shows that there is more than one way to earn a heap of sweets!

I LOVE Alice’s expressions!
Too bad she couldn’t use the pangolin costume.
Oh, well… maybe next year.

I have an idea for Go Comics. Add not only a FLAG button but a SPAM button. Hit the spam button, and every post on the entire site from that person will be blocked for the rest of the day.

too bad Alice can’t scare away the spammers!!!
Herb Thiel Premium Member about 14 years ago
PSychward, I agree on the spam button. Also have flagged comments (seldom see real comments that need flagged on the ones I visit) and spam come off the screen, since they are supposedly offensive to that viewer. I notice that some comics never get any but some, like this one, get many. In fact I just sent a suggestion in that they get some good anti-spam software also.
Anyway, I wonder what Alice will do with the pangolin costume?
Tancread Premium Member about 14 years ago
It is a shame the world missed the pangolin costume. I suspect next year it will be eye-eyes or something new that won’t use the old costume.

Wonderful Halloween for Alice! I would LOVE to have a spam button set for a 5 count. If 5 people hit the spam button, all posts poof from that spammer.

psychward, you should recommend that to GoComic using the “Contact Us” link at the bottom of the page.

Great use of the resources at hand, Alice!

I love “The Ghost of Someone who died from sulkyness” – I’m sooo going to use that the next time I see a sulky teen….

KJ, You’re picking the wrong place to do your shopping! Go to Amazon.com or e-Bay. Even the major department stores have web sites.
cdward about 14 years ago
^I’m hoping *KJ* was writing with tongue firmly implanted in cheek.
Perhaps I will make that suggestion.

Here’s a suggestion for you fellas’
Starting Monday I will be turning in, not the spammers, but the website business site that they are providing the link for to our state’s attorney-general. He loves to prosecute spamming website owners.
Do the same for your state’s attorney-general; since go-comics doesn’t wish to help, then we can simply have the spammers owners fined out of existence.

@sagfvds, @rrdlin, @wqretgf, and @KJ, break your computers and just go away.

Also, just the fact that Go-Comics will have government officials monitoring this site and asking questions may help to encourage them to stop the spammers instead of giving them shelter.
Also, don’t worry about the anonymizer redirects, IP addresses are easily tracked through them. We do it all the time while looking for child porn traffickers…

Hooray for Alice – if you can’t join them, beat them so to speak! and I still think it was thoughtful of Petey and Andre to say they were going to get candy for her – not sure if that happened though… but if they did then she’d have plenty of candy on hand, that’s for sure.
