Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for October 30, 2023

Here in New Jersey October 30 is called “Mischief Night”, I’ve heard in Detroit it’s called “Devil’s Night”.

Ah, he’s picked out his costume…Two-Face.

Kinda like your kingdom…

Monday is the best day of the week.

Now, if Halloween was on a Friday, different story.

I remember that Halloween was on a Tuesday in 1978. I went Trick or Treating with my Dad. We were crossing at a pedestrian crossing when a car didn’t stop for us. My Dad pushed me out of the way but his own shoulder was injured by the car. It turned out that the driver’s brakes had failed. That was a really scary Halloween. I was eleven and turned twelve in December.

Nice drawing of Wiz’s face there…

T’was the night before Halloween and………..

When I was a kid in Maryland, we went out on 10/30 and 31 st. Every year two nights of candy gathering.

Completely mad

Tomorrow is Halloween? Don’t care…

Back in 1938 Orson Welles spooked a lot of people with his Mercury Theater dramatization of “War of the Worlds” radio broadcast on Halloween eve. I was a kid back then and remember my mother getting really angry at him over that.

And here in North Carolina it’s called the night before Halloween….

All wiz mischief

Happy Halloween! Stay safe, stay informed, and stay visible!

Our hospital where my therapy dog works has a parade of the therapy dogs tomorrow. My dog will be dressed as a doctor, if I can get the costume to fit her. I measured carefully but the costume is too big. I really don’t want to go, but she will enjoy it.
