Scary Gary by Mark Buford for October 30, 2022

Maybe ruins YOUR Halloween. At least nobody needs a costume in this house.

Say where’s that head in the jar? Put him outside along with Jack o the lantern.

How about mushy spaghetti for the brains… and chicken bones for the fingers…..

When I was an undergraduate I had a job with the biology department doing ever what was needed like setting up labs. The one for eyeballs used cow eyes which were kept in a big pickle jar in the supply room and seemed to be looking all over the place some right at me as I used tongs to put them into glass bowls, one for each student to start dissecting in the morning. I knew some of the kids who took the lab and they thought it was funny ha ha but I was not a biology major and to me it was a moving experience.

When did Gary get a car?

You waited ‘til the last minute, do you really expect there’s anything good left?

Check the bait shop and there should be assorted larvae and frozen mice at the pet store.

And don’t forget the brains, Gary! Plenty of brains. I prefer the chocolate ganache variety, though.

Whatchamacallits will be the thing that hangs down in the back of your throat.

Well, Leopold, for the sake of the little kiddies, I hope Gary “ruined Halloween” rather than following your gross suggestions!
