[dc]N[/dc]ow that’s a scary costume if there ever was one, as least to current members of the US Congress after the latest government shutdown. I don’t know how No Filter Fox and Observant Raptor plan to visit over 400 houses on a single Halloween night, but maybe they borrowed Santa’s sleigh (it is Santa’s off-season, so anything is possible. Santa’s gotta make a buck too. Reindeer chow ain’t cheap).
Another Halloween comic next week! Do you have your Halloween costume picked out? Stephanie and I are still figuring out what to wear. We too can go as registered voters, which is still pretty scary.
