Monty by Jim Meddick for October 19, 2023

That’s why you draw an outline, fool!

I like it!

It’s fine, and 100 times better than wasting a fortune on a 20’ skeleton!

Never saw a pumpkin core before.

More like a Halloween gazebo.

Knowing Monty, I’m surprised he didn’t use a Sawzall.

Saw a good video with some helpful hints.

First, cut open from the bottom, not the top. Use a candle in a glass holder. Clean out the inside with a hand mixer. Use red magic marker to outline the features.

So, it’s just a lantern.

now it’s a Jack-oh-lantern hand held mode… just add the handle. ;)

“I had a little trouble with the scissors.”

That Jerk-O-Lantern won’t make it to Halloween.

It’s a lighthouse…

Monty apparently has a very limited fund of swear words. He keeps uttering same one. Admittedly, it’s a scorcher.

Halloween is not a good time to take up whittling. :)

Monty’s not cut out for this kind of work.

I’m glad he was wearing an apron. Safety first. :)

Nothing fails like total failure, Monty. You’ve ruined your jack o’lantern, and you’re well on your way to ruining your life. Moping is appropriate….
