Cartoon of a woman and a trick or treater. The woman says, “Happy Halloween! Here, have a pumpkin spice latte!”
Several years ago, I took my son trick-or-treating. We came to a home that obviously wasn’t prepared. The lady was giving warm cans of soda pop to the kids. Each child just stared at the can an mumbled a “thank you,” as they tossed it in their treat bags.
Looking back on it, I would have preferred a latte.
Cartoon of a baby in a pumpkin costume and a boy. The boy says, “”Get used to it. They will continually find new ways to humiliate you.”
Cartoon of a boy and an older man. The boy says, “I need a Halloween costume. Can I look through your closet?”
One of the nice things I like about the Goodwill Stores is it’s like going through someone else’s closet and finding the perfect costume for Halloween. An added benefit is I don’t alienate my neighbors.
Cartoon of boy and jack-o-lantern. The boy says, “It’s six in the morning. Stop looking so happy!”
Cartoon of two racers. One of them is wearing motor racing gear. The other says, “I get the feeling one of us is wearing the wrong racing gear.”
I’ve ran twice in the Indianapolis 500 Mini-Marathon. One of the highlights is you get to run around the Indianapolis Speedway. It’s amazing to know you’re running on the same track where race cars go over 200 miles per hour. So I’ve thought of this idea more than once as I’ve been jogging around the 2 1/2 mile oval.
I drew this for Illustration Friday. This week’s word is “racing.”
