Lio by Mark Tatulli for November 01, 2011

Lio, I share your pain… :’-(

I second the emotion . . . at least I scored some good decorations that will keep the spirit alive.

The 18 month old got so much that HE MAY get some of it.

He’ll be back again next year, Lio.(Thumpety-thump-thump, thumpety-thump-thump…)

Until next year :D

Awww! Sniff!

Keep Halloween in your heart Lio. Sniff Sniff….

Maybe Tatulli can recycle this on Dec. 26.

Halloween’s not fun any more. the only kids that came to the door were the next door neighbor’s 2 grandchildren. 8 hours of decorating for that. Big freakin whoops.Anyone know what the halloween equivalent of Bah, Humbug! is??

I feel the same way every Halloween…

Halloween is year round at this place.

halloween has come and gone…waiting for another dawninto storage decorations go,it’s been ended but even so,scarecrows still smile and pumpkins do glow,remembering the feel of Halloween…-Aden Baker

I am always in awe of how this strip says more with no words than many do with a lot

Only Mark can make you feel empathy for a monster.

Missing Halloween Too.. the kids swamped me I ran out of candy and they kept coming! Can’t keep candy!

Oh sure. Eat and run.

Halloween will soon be back, so save your costume and your sack.There will be more witch’s brew,and more ghost stories that are all so true!

Poor Lio — a month of Hallowe’en just isn’t enough!!!

One year I ran out of candy so I let each kid take a hand full of pennies from a bucket I had been saving them in. The littler kids were delighted.

Good riddance!

Lio will be pulling some sort of monster out of the closet and into dad’s horror so don’t despair. I dodged so many pumpkin parts on the way to work this morning it was like a Gourd Apocalypse.

I feel your pain Lio… though I always visualized Halloween as being more like something Tim Burton would have created as a representation like something from Nightmare Before Christmas, not a scary-looking mutant slug.

Note that it leaves a big messy trail behind it to clean up. But it was worth the mess.

Pet slugs, I understand; it’s hard to say goodby

Halloween may be gone, but its slime remains!

poor lio i miss halloween too that poor monster he looks so nice :’( snif

Alas! Alack for the loss of Samhain for another year! (Samhain was the original Celtic name).
