Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for March 04, 2019

Excuse me a moment I have to scream loudly. walks off and screams

I hope you counted all your knives!

Listen to me carefully, ma’am. You are in a horror movie. Leave the house as quickly and unobtrusively as possible, and don’t look back.

Look around. Has all your housework been done for you overnight? Maybe you were lucky and got a good elf. Yeah, riiiiight!

GET OUT OF THE HOUSE, NOW!

Is this cartoon a reference to a particular movie?

Chucky’s girlfriend?

Cue ominous music.

“Submitted for your approval…” (cue Twilight Zone theme)

One day I came in sweaty from my morning walk. I sweat down by reading my mooring cartoons. To supplement the air conditioning, I have a box fan. I took the fitbit off my sweaty wrist and placed it on top of the fan. About 30 minutes later I got up, picked up the fitbit and noticed that it had registered over 10,000 steps – apparently it was picking up the vibrations of the fan as steps.

Alma at the doll store:

She was out late chasing Man-Bun Ken doll.

Creepy

The doll’s shoes are on the wrong feet. Must make walking 10,000 steps harder.

….and I thought I put that chef’s knife in the kitchen drawer…

Could this be the bride of Chucky? =~[

She was visiting Chuckie.

Creepy.

Maybe, the doll is a western version of Hoi Hoi-san (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6jJ9sV52l4)

Such a fine line between comedy and horror.

Chatty Cathy gets around.

Talky Tina — Living Doll — Two Minute Twilight Zone Project — Season 5, Episode 6: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSy8Ko1vSKQ [1:59]

Her name is Talky Teena, and you’d better BE NICE to her!

Dolls are straight up creepy

As a child I always covered the dolls at night, the open eyes scared me.

Reminds me of the creepy talking Sarah Palin doll in “Doonesbury.”
