Susan, Ouch! That hurt! Who should I call? Anyway, it looks like it ain’t a fit night out for man nor beast….So forget the outfit…..So the KKK were just trying to pretend to be ghosts?
Varnes…. when I was a little kid, my mother, who couldn’t sew at all, made us ghost costumes for Halloween by tearing old sheets into big squares and then cutting raggedy eyeholes in them.
There was a an old B/W picture, which has since been lost, of the three of us wearing them, ages maybe 4 to 7.No pointy hoods…but I remember thinking when I saw it years later, that we kinda looked like three little Klansmen…. and that my mother would have been horrified if anyone had ever said that.
Happy Phil….Definitely Poncho (of Pooch Cafe) on the upper half of the back page.
The cat looks like “Heathcliff,” though the person looks wrong…it could be meant to represent that strip or Garfield.The other dog looks very familiar, but I can’t think of the strip title… though I’m picturing it in my mind.
Bruno, Hippogriff…well…. it doesn’t play quite so well in 2016.

Reading the comics and the store ads in the newspaper.Pretty old-school.
Maybe they’ve been ghosts since before there was Ghoulgle.

Sheetz doesn’t sell sheets. I don’t think so anyway.

Back when I lived in Louisiana there was, and maybe still is, a restaurant between N.O. and Baton Rouge named “Snow Sheets”.

Trying to figure out the comics on the pages. I sort of know, but can only name Dick Tracy and Ziggy.
