Halloween SPOOKTACULAR

Tomorrow's Halloween, and unlike every other holiday (except Earth Day, for some odd reason) the comics page is really getting into it. Therefore, please enjoy these Halloween-themed strips which are a day early and many in number. Oh god, this is going to be terrible:

Six Chix, 10/30/09

Six Chix has been into it all week, pretty much. Today they make clear their intent to kill us all, by any means possible. It's quite Halloween, with the ghosts and graveyard and vampire and whatnot. And an animate skeleton, which is a creature I simply just don't like.

Bizarro, 10/30/09

Bizarro is going for a more literary bent, but why would he need to go under the knife to get an iPod? Is it because he has no ears? If he has no ears, does that mean the Headless Horseman communicates through sign language? These mysteries plague me.

Crankshaft, 10/30/09

Crankshaft is also getting into the spirit, which isn't that far-fetched due to the fact that he's a demonic entity.

Deflocked, 10/30/09

This joke, likewise, has been long in coming. Really, there's only one possible way for a pinata storyline in a comic strip to end, and this is it.

Brilliant Mind of Edison Lee, 10/30/09

Dexter would have made a better dragon costume. I do like the cat costume, though.

Mother Goose and Grimm, 10/30/09

No one would give out ice cream on Halloween.

Mutts, 10/30/09

Like many of these strips, Mutts has been doing this for a week or so already. It's been a typical Mutts storyline.

Retail, 10/30/09

I made my thoughts on this strip clear yesterday. I still really like how accurate this Marvin is.

Rhymes with Orange, 10/30/09

I like this view of Halloween. Except the last panel... that's sort of weird. But everything else is sort of neat.

Safe Havens, 10/30/09

Safe Havens managed to blend one of their ongoing storylines with the Halloween theme, so more power to them. Is it a normal thing for a bunch of people in costumes to just show up at a restaurant, though?

Sally Forth, 10/30/09

Ted Forth has the right idea. He looks sort of like Marty McFly, though.

Todd the Dinosaur, 10/30/09

Why would you wear braids with a viking costume, anyway? I've never seen a viking with braids.

Zits, 10/30/09

This is pretty disturbing right here, folks. More so, how is Jeremy not a zombie? If his parents were zombies when he was conceived, then... I don't think zombies can bear children. And if they were turned after, then why didn't they eat him? The logistics of this are all out of whack.

Birdbrains, 10/30/09

I have nothing to say about this one. Look at its Halloween-ness.

Cul de Sac, 10/30/09

I want to see what's in that haunted house. Also, Abe Lincoln's hat is fantastic.

Close to Home, 10/30/09

They even got the dog! MONSTERS!

Cleats, 10/30/09

Friggin' Cleats.

Dog Eat Doug, 10/30/09

Holy god, what's in that pumpkin? Is it a demon? IS IT CRANKSHAFT?

Scary Gary, 10/30/09

Xenomorphs have no eyes. Grasping at straws, I know.

The Doozies, 10/30/09

...what the heck is wrong with that guy?

The Duplex, 10/30/09

The size of those dogs' snouts plus the size of the toilet bowl mean that there's absolutely no way in hell any of them, other than that bulldog, could get an apple.

Flying McCoys, 10/30/09

People don't give apples anymore, due to razorblades. Nor do they give out unwrapped popcorn balls. And I know no children who would prefer either to any sort of Snickers bar.

Garfield, 10/30/09

Vampires want blood, not necks, but I give this particular installment of Garfield points for trying.

Heart of the City, 10/30/09

Why would Heart dress as Dean in a wedding dress? That's weird. The elf ears and fangs are a nice touch, though. They pull the whole ensemble together.

Lio, 10/30/09

Lio is one of those strips where any random installment could be used for Halloween, but the egg-throwing hooligans push it over the edge.

La Cucaracha, 10/30/09

Friggin' animate skeletons! Also, I guess this is a Day of the Dead strip more than a Halloween strip, but Day of the Dead is sort of like a Mexican Halloween. (Not the sexual position.)

Mythtickle, 10/30/09

Real Life Adventures, 10/30/09

Looks like Daddy Vorhees is going to be carving up more than a pumpkin, little girl.

The Argyle Sweater, 10/30/09

Why is Frankenstein and the others even at a daycare? Does he own the daycare?

Tiny Sepuku, 10/30/09

Poor Blacula. At least he has the advantage of having Jefferson Twilight hunt him.

Bound and Gagged, 10/30/09

It's supposed to be funny because vampires have no reflection. I know, it's just side-splitting.

Home and Away, 10/30/09

Why would they both show up as bears? Couldn't they make one a raccoon or something? Seriously.

Red and Rover, 10/30/09

The fifth horseman is Chaos, according to Terry Pratchett, at least. I'm more willing to lis

Yenny, 10/30/09

Having sponsors for a party is actually a pretty good idea.

Bleeker the Rechargeable Dog, 10/30/09

And so Karl is smashed. Poor Karl.

W. T. Duck, 10/30/09

Yes, I'm quite done. Thank god.
