Halloween Toonage
Oct. 31st, 2017 08:58 pmWhen my neighbors hand out candy, a lot of them park themselves at the end of their driveways. I never have done this. My driveway slopes toward the house, so it's not comfortable to sit on and it's below 40 degrees F outside tonight. So I left the front door open, making it freezing in the house, but I could sit on my couch and watch "Halloween" on DVD.
I had about 12 kids tonight. About twice that literally walked past my house from what I could see from the living room window (my couch faces the window). I figure I am handing out free candy, including good stuff like M&M's, Milky Way bars, and Starburst, so the least they could do is trek to the door from the sidewalk. Lazy brats.
My favorite costumes tonight were the two boys who came as strawberry jelly and JIF peanut butter. Big clunky box costumes, but very well designed. I closed up shop at 7:30 PM, even though treating goes until 8, as almost no kids show after it gets too dark. One little girl knocked on my door at 7:35 though and I rewarded her by dumping the rest of the contents of the candy bowl in her bag. Her mom started laughing and I thanked her for letting me get rid of the rest of it.
Between knocks at the door, I doodled this, then colored it after I closed up shop downstairs. I saw a commercial of parents who let their kids wear opposite gender costumes, with their son going as Wonder Woman and their daughter as Batman, without making a fuss. I thought it was awesome, so I let my hero Grizzly go as a flying witch.
Happy Halloween!
