The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for October 30, 2022

Take a map and on your way!

“My phone has a GPS? I must learn to to use it one day.”

I don’t need to use the GPS on my phone because people are always telling me where to go.

And hopefully avoid convicted sex offenders.

My guess is Brutus is thinking, “that is quite a route they have,” and, “all that candy is going to cost me a fortune when Wilberforce has to see the dentist.”

the GPS may not be working right in some areas though… but that is a smart idea, might want to bring a portable charger with ya incase it drains the battery too fast. ;)

The traveling trick-or-treater problem is N-P hard.

Poor Brutus Thornapple, the only guy I know that thinks GPS stands for German Potato Salad.

You’re getting off easy Brutus. They could have asked for your credit card to order their own on Amazon.

What surprises me about this is that these kids don’t have their own cell phones. It seems like most young kids have one nowadays.

Kids say the darnedest things!

But landlines don’t have GPS.

Amateurs. We roughed it.

We learned early on to go to the upscale neighborhoods where they handed out the good stuff, i.e., no candy corn.

Don’t do it Brutus, if you do give them your phone it’s going to be all sticky from candy when you get it back.

We did that somewhat by word of mouth. Back in the ‘good-ol-days’ when trick-or-treating ran more than one night and wasn’t supervised (and ruined) by adults, a list of the best sources quickly became common knowledge. The first sign of Halloween decay, btw, was when they invented “miniatures”.

I appreciate their initiative and I believe that there are websites that identify which homes give the most candy. Combine the two and you might make a killing. However, I do not appreciate Hattie addressing Brutus by his first name. Lack of respect at her age and definitely reflects her upbringing. She must be going out as a demon…..

Not good to rely totally on GPS. Don’t want cold, wet, muddy feet. Slipping on black ice wouldn’t be good either.

Brutus said the phone will be with us, since I am walking with you for safety. Plus he might get some loot himself.

I have a cell phone to only talk on,no texting no other crap!!!

She may be really annoying, but she certainly isn’t stupid!
