   wolfdreamer and fsbjr: it’s a cartoon! Seems to me you would be better off using your free time to study your grammar and spelling, rather than reading and criticizing comic strips.

   Oh, man! I just remembered the shark costume that a friend made for her kids and lent us. The head and body fit right over the person’s head and body like a loose shark-shaped tube, with space at the tail for the feet to take small steps. The wearer looked out thru the fearsome mouth, fashioned with rows of teeth out of really stiff posterboard, and “gums” painted red. The eyes were wild and scary. That costume lasted her for at least eight years, us for at least six (until the tail was up to my daughter’s knees), and now it is making the rounds of her grandchildren. The body? An old light blue sheet, with a bit of stuffing added. Great for cold CT Halloweens!

   …and just look at all the patterns available now to make whatever you want. I always add an extra couple of inches to all hems and seams, or put in small grommets with laces, so that the costume can be adjusted and worn by many. My grandsons have even worn the caped and hooded purple-bird-with-a-big-scary-beak outfit one of my sons fashioned and wore when he was young.
