Definitely not a treat.

Hope it’s worth it.

Worst part of it all is it looks like they have to go back down the mountain to get the eggs, and then back up to commit their evil deed.

“We want the treat, ’cause we already had the trick. It was getting up here!”

And what makes you think a guy who lives all by himself at the top of a mountain is going to have candy on hand? Doesn’t even have a porch light.

The treats you seek are within you.

Looks like Lucy & Linus (Peanuts)

22 days early, but that’s probably how long it’ll take them to get up there!

The big treat these climbers would get is some “wisdom” from this sage at the top. The trick is going to be going back down again!

Halloween should be eliminated as it only teaches kids to expect a free handout of chocolates, there’s no good qualities taught, it’s only a “profit deal” for retailers

well don’t see any treats…

Did I hear tiny snickers from him?

But he is the only guy in the neighborhood that gives out full size candy bars.

Lucy Van Pelt and Charlie Brown looking for advice on how to get more treats than tricks!

I would never have gone to this guy. Too far from the next house. I like neighborhoods where the houses were close together.

Lucy!

“Only one piece of candy nightly and brush your teeth afterward.”

With all the scarry stuff going on all the time, I don’t think we need Halloween.

Probably just the advise …….. you have had the exercise …… now you can have more candy ……… :)

They are about to get a real-life lesson in disappointment

Ha! I’m sure that’s how it feels to kids, who have advice dispensed when what they’re looking for is candy.

Look for the best candy in the best areas of town my child…….

Kids hoping to find their inner Reece’s Peaces.

Is the kid in purple supposed to be a ghost or an eggplant?

trick or retreat

That ain’t Sandy Claws!

Advice, Don’t eat any opened candy.

A lot of effort is typically required to get up the mountain and reach the guru in this cartoon trope. It’s pretty clear these kids didn’t do — even on a kids’ level — a cost-benefit analysis.
