Drabble by Kevin Fagan for September 29, 2024

I want some actual scary decorations. Not these cute ones they sell these days.

There are a lot of giant scary inflated skeletons in my area.

Try to decorate so that the homicide squad drops over for a chat… lol.

The Bulk Club doesn’t give Ralph a discount for working there?

House nearby has 2-10’ skeletons on each side of the driveway.

This comic is about a month too late. I just went to Home Depot yesterday and they had almost NOTHING in the miniscule Halloween aisle. Not a single inflatable on display (they had a few out of the box but they were all dead). But they did have two rows of Christmas trees and at least a dozen Christmas inflatables.

This is pretty accurate. Every year there’s a glut of the same decoration. Due to marketing, it changes every year.

That decoration is def bulk

Some folks in my neighborhood started putting out Halloween stuff right after Labor Day.

Little pink houses for you and me"

I hate the gory decorations most of my neighbors put up. I heard there is another tropical storm/hurricane headed towards FL so hopefully the neighbors will delay putting out decorations for another week. They are usually out October 1st.

No problem. Just return it.

Costco had an eigh foot high Werewolf last month. This month they have a nine foot creature. Too expensive. Where would you store them. Oh and what must be ten foot by eight foot candy cane house Christmas decoration.

I pass by a house that has gigantic skeleton in the yard. They keep it up all year but wait until Halloween to turn the lights on in the eyes.

The price of these large pumpkins has gone up due to “inflation”.

Wait what? He’s a grown man with a kid and he asks his daddy for permission to buy it?

If you want SCARY decorations for this year, fill your yard with signs for the presidental candidates (both parties)

Unique — just like everyone else.

I keep telling my wife that I want to fill up our yard with giant inflatable presidents for President’s Day but she won’t let me.

Never take advice from Norm…
