Val: What's THAT?
Holly: You can't say no to THIS Halloween costume!
Holly: I'm an OLYMPIAN!!
Val: Be an Olympian who SKIS, so you won't freeze.
Holly: This has long sleeves!
As a girl growing up in Colorado in the 50s (-20 F in the winter sometimes) we were not ALLOWED to wear pants to school. Tights came out my junior year in highschool and they were a godsend while standing out in 3’ of snow waiting for the school bus. Until then, bare legs! Small children pulled snow pants on under their dresses, but a teenager would die first LOL.
I want to see costumes that are designed for cold weather! It’s no fun for the kids to trick-or-treat in coats, hats, and mittens. I make all costume decisions based on the fact that my kids will be wearing warm clothing underneath.

And yes, Val can very well say NO. Olympians earn their leotards!

Language, please! I have a little sister who reads this strip with me and that means she reads the comments, too.

I had no clue what it meant and was just about to ask. Need to tread carefully these days.

With nighttime temperatures in the 30s here, I don’t think she wants to be running around dressed like that.
