Continuing Halloween weekend week

Submitted by Andréa



We’re devoting this whole week to Halloween! Some days will be classic CIDU reruns; others will be new posts.



Due to one editor being on vacation this week, we’re going to imitate the comics by repeating some classics. This one is from June 2018, by Bill

B.A.: Okay, so… a comic about the future that uses what’s already a Geezer reference (Blockbuster/VHS tapes). But I still don’t understand what the joke’s supposed to be.
Though the Cow pinch-hitting for the Squirrel does give us a passable “Oy”.
Another repeat from June, 2018. A few years ago, I went to see a jazz concert. The leader / clarinet player was a friend. The bass player didn’t show up, so the leader asked us to imagine a bass line being played in the background. I told him this was a blatant appear to our bass-er instincts.

H.T. Webster drew this in 1923.
Kilby sent it to me a few hours ago, in May of 2020, asking me to queue it up for three years in the future.

So greetings from Month Three of the Coronavirus Lockdown. I hope everybody made it through okay to the other side.
So these two guys were walking in the woods and they come across a severed head. One of them holds it up and says “Oh my God, it’s Kowalski!”
His friend says “No, he was taller than that.”

(Irv, 1951)

Which two comic strip characters should hook up on Sunday (setting aside, if necessary, their current marital status, their sexual orientation, or even their species), and what would they do on their date?
(A repeat from a couple of years ago)

This would make more sense to me if the man was talking to the woman and the balloon was in her image.
