Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for October 15, 2021

Alice sure is antsy for Halloween.

The search for an identity doesn’t get any easier as you get older, Alice

She is already the scariest thing I know: an annoying kid sister. She is really going to have to up her game.

Pleeeze, go as the putrid French fry; it’ll scare the pants off Petey! Oooh, on second thought, that may not be the result we want. Maybe, he just turns a pleasant shade of green, instead.

Hey, Alice, here’s a thought: go as a pangolin!

I never have to worry about dressing up for Halloween/ It’s the one benefit of looking like am ogre.

Go as a mini-van, Alice…

You can be traffic.

Go as “Alice”. You’ll scare the hell out of everyone !

Huh. I thought she was calm…

I went as a cupholder one year and it was going pretty well until we stopped by Old Man Miller’s place and he answered the door holding a can of beer – then he spotted me…

Oh the pressure!

No pumpkins in rural England, so we user turnips for lanterns. Delicious roasty aroma when the candle was lit.

Alice melts down because Halloween is “just a few weeks away”? This is going to be an interesting time as Halloween draws ever closer; what will Alice do?!

Go as a unicorn, you could win the Marigold Heavenly Nostrils award!
