Wonder if those contests are still broadcast? Always enjoyed seeing the very inventive gadgets designed just for that purpose. Even the ones that never worked.
A good strip with the Wizard and Blanche disagreeing then compromising. This is the second strip this month in which we’ve seen the Wizard preparing for Halloween which should be the most important time of year for wizards. I’m looking forward to next Sunday’s strip which will fall on Halloween.
As good a use for Pumpkin as any. I wonder if they have an accuracy component to those contests? Throwing something is one thing. Hitting something with what you throw is a whole different animal.
I once asked an old timer who helped out at my local produce stand if certain pumpkins were for eating or decorating. He replied; “That would depend upon how hungry you are”
“These kids comin’ up nowadays, don’t even know how to tie down their pumpkins. Why, when I was a boy I… Say, I never tied down no pumpkins. Hey, son! Whatcha tying down a pumpkin for? What’s the big…” (BONK!!!!)

Since when did a Catapult or Trebuchet (or whatever that contraption is) started going “FOOM!!” than “FATANG!” or “SWOOSH!!”?
