Alice: I made my own Jack O' Lantern! Daddy cared the face part, then I did all the stickers, glitter, tinsel, and ribbons! Beni: I put my Grandpa's old teeth in my Jack O' Lantern and it's so realistic my Grandma's been yelling at it. All day. Kevin: My Jack O' Lantern is the plastic kind you plug in, but I helped carry it in the store, so it's just like I made it myself- Alice: FORGET IT, KEVIN! Marcus: My Jack O' Lantern is inspired by that clown that came to my last birthday party. Eeeeeeeergh. Dill: My Jack O' Lantern was volunteered for trebuchet artillery practice. Petey: My Jack O' Lantern evokes the horror of our dehumanized world, it's souls blank Alice: BORING!

I absolutely love this strip. It captures something about each kid, and each is funny in its own way.

Actually, Petey’s kind of looks like The Scream, minus the hands thrown up in horror.
