Here’s your soundtrack for this week’s post. Press play and read on.
As you may have heard, Halloween is tomorrow. Funny how it sneaks up on you, huh? For the last four years, we’ve been right on top of Halloween; making imaginative costumes from scratch, by hand. Who could forget Bert the chimney sweep from Mary Poppins? Or the cardboard and duct tape armored knight? Or the octopus and crab? And, of course, the box of popcorn? This year is different though. We’ve been a little busy. So you know what we’re doing tonight? Making Halloween costumes (from start to finish).
If you’ve been around here a while, you know we’re making a Buddy and Romeo holiday book. That means, each holiday, we post cartoons that hardly have anything to do with said holiday because we’re saving the cartoons that are actually about the holiday for the book. So Happy Halloween! You can look forward to cartoons that are actually about Halloween when the book comes out next year. For now, let’s talk about our fears. What are you afraid of?
What the scariest thing you can imagine?
What are you afraid is going to happen anyway?
