    See no evil, Speak no evil, Hear no evil… no… it’s just a pumpkin patch panic.

      Taste no evil, either! Unless we’re talking about pumpkin pie, and that’s completely ok!

    Very cute! I really like the expression of the third pumpkin the most. 😉

      He’s my favorite too, Bill, and actually the first of the three pumpkins I drew, too.

    So THAT’S how they get such scary faces!

    This is a fantastic huge gag with heavy black on top. Awesome, Mark!

      Putting lots of black in panels looks great, but dang it’s a lot of work! Thanks, Joseph!

      Love the feeling of finding that perfect pumpkin for carving! It’s not such an easy thing to do, in my experience! Some are lopsided, or flat on one side, or have weird coloring, or some sort of scar or mutation growing on it. Maybe it’s because I usually wait so long to go get one the best ones are already taken… Glad you liked it, Jande!

    I believe we could all feel 100% percent safer this Halloween.

      I know at least the roads are safer, since pumpkins can’t drive.
