    No, “The Scream” isn’t literature. It’s a painting. And so what? Can’t people dress up for Halloween like paintings?

    For those that never heard of the book, like me: A boy dreams that he’s watching three chefs make a cake. But he accidentally falls into the batter and gets put in the oven.

    The facial expression may either be the boy’s surprise or the controversy about the fact that the boy is naked through the entire dream.

    I was 16 when “In the Night Kitchen” was published and have no children so I was unfarmilart with that book.

    This is probably really funny if you know that book.

    That book remains on the top 100 list of “most challenged books.” God forbid people should see an unclothed toddler…

    If Caulfield really is thinking of going as Maurice Sendak’s Mickey, I hope he means before he gets into the milk bottle…

    …because if he wants to do this, with or without having to rely on whiteface, that’s going to involve one heck of a zentai (Japanese full-body leotard, for the angrezi or non-otaku on this page), while something on the lines of a mascot suit would work better for the initial version of Mickey that’s all covered in batter…

    And I thought he was the kid from Home Alone after using the aftershave.

    Thanks, Jef and Frazz. Without today’s cartoon, I would never have known. Thanks for more great Frazz enlightenment.“In the Night Kitchen is the classic story of Mickey’s adventures in the bakers’ kitchen as they prepare our morning cake. “Milk in the batter! Milk in the batter! We bake cake and nothing’s the matter!” the bakers sing."

    Not literature but has likely inspired more commentary than many novels.

    Love how Mrs. Olsen’s hairbun manages to separate from her head when she’s really surprised. Unless she always wears a hat that looks like a bun … ;-)

    Kind of overdressed for that, aren’t you, Caulfield?

    Very funny today and great image for Mrs. Olsen. That bun make the trip a lot because of Caulfield. Think the possibility of Caulfield appearing naked blew her mind.

    I remember when Caulfield said he was going as the man in the tree in “Catch-22”. Frazz had to point to to people that there were two men in the tree, one in uniform and one “out of uniform”. Just like the kid in the book was not always “out of uniform”.
