Ralph: I've been coming to this pumpkin farm every October since I was a kid! When my kids are grown, I'll probably still come here! Clerk: Hopefully you'll buy something one of these years! Ralph: I'm not spending $15 on a pumpkin!

hltrim52: And a few age in punctuated stasis: Blondie did it chronologically and then stopped; Funky did it once as adults; Sally Forth had it for her sister, but not her daughter; etc. Gasoline Alley, Doonsbury, and For Better or For Worse are about the only ones to follow the calendar.

$15? That’s it? Around here that price is for two sizes smaller at the patch.

I sure as heck wouldn’t buy a pumpkin with the price already carved in it.

The Great Pumpkin does exist. I saw him rise from the pumpkin patch once.

I’m with Ralph, I got a bunch of plastic ones at garage sales, for a dollar or less. Plus they don’t rot!

Plastic pumpkins do not come with seeds.
