After coming home from work at 19:00, no trick-or-treater came to my apartment; the one bag of candy is all for me now.

1 car with 4 kids, a mom and dad with their 3 year-old, that’s it.

Happened to me one Halloween, that I was sick and missed going out, but my best friend split his candy with me. Alice has her brother helping out (see yesterday’s strip) and then there’s all the leftover candy, so I guess she’s happy.

That is some grade-A, high quality sulking there.

Haven’t seen any trick or treaters in my neighborhood in nearly three decades. I usually buy a couple of bags of candy “just in case” though.. buying kinds I like. :-)

I stayed home, dressed up, and gave out candy to trick or treaters. Five kids asked who I was. One asked if I was a clown. I was Snow White. I am now mourning the future of America.
