It’s #InktoberDay11! We’ve met the Creepy Husband, and the Evil Midweek Cutie can’t be without the other half of the equation, so here she is, the sleek and sultry… Mrs. Undertaker? Charles Addams must be spinning in his grave with these knockoff #Halloween costumes! #Inktober

It will be a bumpy ride for all parties! 😁

And at only nine! When I was nine, I was drawing up goofy "newspaper" stories about the election season...but I had no idea how it worked, so I was just making whatever I needed to up!

“Trick-or-Treat!” – The Prequel – Part 12/20: Okay, so she’s a precocious nine-year-old! Insert any real or imagined public figure you like into her, uh, wingtip shoes. #cartoon #comic #costumes #halloween #politicaljoke #trickortreat #webcomic

CANDACE: I give up, Amber. What’re you dressed up as this time?

AMBER: Only the most frightening creature known to the free world: The elected official who just accepted their first bribe! Henceforth, I will spout lies and more lies to stay in power...I will advocate for policies not to advance American interests, but to line the pockets of the special interest groups who funded my campaign...I will feed like a parasite off of the very flag I stand for...and accuse my opponents of doing likewise!

CANDACE: I’m an elected official, too...Somehow, I feel less dishonest...if not silly.

AMBER: Well you have the face to go with that getup.

A New #BubbleFox #Comic drops tomorrow, but you can still catch up with the current toon! Some eagle-eyed fans might even be able to spot a pair of cameos hidden in the first panel! :D

“Trick-or-Treat!” – The Prequel – Part 11/20: It’s a circus out there!! #cartoon #clowns #comic #costumes #halloween #trickortreat #webcomic

CANDACE: Thank you!

ADULT: Such cute costumes! Do come again!

AMBER: We will! Sooner than you think. We’re making bank out here!

CANDACE: I wanna know why I gotta be a boy clown!

AMBER: We have to gender swap now and then so no one catches on. Try to act the part.

CANDACE: How?!

AMBER: I dunno. How does our brother act?

CANDACE: You tell me. You’re wearing his necktie.

AMBER: Okay, bad example.

“Trick-or-Treat!” – The Prequel – Part 10/20: Amber’s plan gets a B+ from Candace! #cartoon #clown #comic #halloween #makeup #sisters #trickortreat #webcomic #werewolf

CANDACE: You’ve had some crazy ideas, little sister, but this one borders on genius!

AMBER: Whad’dya mean “borders”?! With so many Halloween costumes, we can trick-or-treat over and over on the same night! Name one flaw in the plan!

CANDACE: Using the trunk of Matt’s car as a changing room.

AMBER: Well, I wanted to use the bushes, but the werewolf boys keep hangin’ around!

It’s #InktoberDay3! The Grim Reaper, the Harbinger Of Doom, the Angel Of Death… Yeah, that guy’s scary but luckily the nastiest thing the Phantom Of Darkness will do is get hammered at the office #Halloween party and get fired for hitting on the boss’ wife! #Inktober

“Trick-or-Treat!” – The Prequel – Part 9/20: It’s been said that it is best to leave the party early. The girls are realizing that right about now! #cartoon #comic #halloween #holiday #indiecomic #siblings #trickortreat #webcomic

CANDACE: C’mon, let’s go switch costumes.

AMBER: Yeah, if I can get this dumb mustache off!

“TOGA”: You got some adorable babysitters, underclassman!

PARTIERS: Haw! Ha ha! Ho! Hah!

MATT: If you two pumpkin heads come around here again, I’ll tan your hides!

AMBER: Remember the last time you tried to?!

MATT: Grandma’s not here to wrestle me down this time. And the exit’s that way, Magellan!

CANDACE: Well, how’re we s’posed to know when we came in through a window?!

AMBER: Sorry about that, Mister. You can go finish now.

“MISTER”: Just get movin’, awright?!

Now drawing a Viking at the party would have been fun, but it might be too late for that! Oh, well, there's always next year!

“Trick-or-Treat!” – The Prequel – Part 8/20: Matt needs to keep one eye on each sister! #cartoon #comic #costumes #halloween #humor #party #webcomic

MATT: Okay, Amber, what the heck’s so important you monkeys gotta embarrass me in front of all the guys?!

AMBER: You locked the car and we can’t get in!

MATT: Fine, there! It’s unlocked. Any reason it took two of you to crash the party and tell me?

AMBER: Yeah...We’re capitalizing on this detour.

CANDACE: Trick-or-treat!

Yes, indeed. Only a jock is eligible to be Frankenstein's Monster, since said monster boasts tremendous physical strength!

“Trick-or-Treat!” – The Prequel – Part 7/20: Even the best laid plans need to be improvised on the fly. Some such improvisations are only partially successful! #cartoon #comic #halloween #humor #trickortreat #webcomic

AMBER: Argh! That bonehead brother of ours locked up his car! Now we can’t get out the extra costumes!

CANDACE: Our great plan’s hit a snag.

AMBER: C’mon, we gotta drag him outta that party to come open it up!

CANDACE: B-but they’re all college guys in there. How’ll we get past the front door?

“FRANKENSTEIN MONSTER”: Yo, freshman. I caught dese two climbin’ through da bathroom winda. Dey say dey’re yer sisters. How ‘bout it?

MATT: Ungh...Yes...

“Trick-or-Treat!” – The Prequel – Sunday Intermission: “Trick-or-Treat!” – The Prequel continues on Wednesday! Meanwhile, let’s jump back to the present day and take a trip with the gang down Memory Lane! #cartoon #comic #halloween #holiday #jackolantern #pumpkins #siblings #webcomic

CANDACE: Remember that one Halloween when we took like ten costumes trick-or-treating?

AMBER: How can I forget?

MATT: When can I forget?

CANDACE: How many years has it been?

AMBER: Too many!

MATT: Not enough.

CANDACE: Boy, did I binge on the sweets. I got so sick.

AMBER: Ditto.

CANDACE: I thought I’d be spending all of November in the E.R.

AMBER: We both did.

AMANDA: I’m still trying to get the vomit stains out of the carpet.

CANDACE & AMBER: Sorry, Mom.

AMANDA: I was talking to your brother.

MATT: Mom! You promised not to tell!

CANDACE: So that’s where all my candy corn went.

“Trick-or-Treat!” – The Prequel – Part 6/20: Every plan needs to be tweaked even during its execution, as Amber, much to her frustration, is finding out! #cartoon #comic #halloween #trickortreat #webcomic

AMBER: Our first round was a smashing success, sis! Lookit all the Halloween candy!

CANDACE: Time to change costumes.

AMBER: If we revisit only the best houses, we can maybe get in four more trips around the neighborhood. We’re not too far behind schedule. We’d be on schedule if you’d stop flirting with every boy you see.

CANDCE: I hope one of the “best houses” is where that super cute ghoul lives.

“Trick-or-Treat!” – The Prequel – Part 5/20: Juliet said that parting is such sweet sorrow. She never saw these three. #cartoon #comic #halloween #humor #siblings #trickortreat #webcomic

MATT: Listen up, munchkins. The party lets out at ten. Meet me back here or you can walk home.

AMBER: Just make sure you’re here or you can walk home!

MATT: Don’t worry. I know better than to argue with a little girl sporting a Salvador Dali mustache.

CANDACE: Hey! Be nice!

MATT: Ow!! What’d I tell you about Rule Eighty-Six?! Don’t ever kick me when you’re wearing high heels!

CANDACE: Wrong again, bro...It says not to kick you when you’re wearing high heels.

MATT: Oh. Well, this’ll be Rule Eighty-Six and a Half. Don’t violate it or else!

“Trick-or-Treat!” – The Prequel – Part 4/20: On the way to their big adventure, three siblings have to hammer out a few details... #cartoon #comic #costumes #halloween #siblings #trickortreat #webcomic

AMBER: Okay, Candace, we got all the extra costumes in the trunk. Now here’s the master plan...We hit every house on our first run, casing each joint...Then we only go back to the ones with the best loot on all subsequent runs.

MATT: “Master plan”? “Hit”? “Casing each joint”? “Loot”? Are you two trick-or-treaters or cat burglars? Talk about crime!

AMBER: You can butt out, Napoleon, or I’ll send you into that party dressed as a sea urchin! Don’t think I can’t do it!

MATT: Organized crime, at that.

“Trick-or-Treat!” – The Prequel – Part 3/20: Now it’s time for the girls to get themselves a chauffeur! Will their big brother do it? #brother #cartoon #comic #halloween #siblings #sisters #webcomic

AMBER: Hey, chicken chest! When you go to the party tonight, we want a lift.

MATT: Forget it, Amber...It's a frat party. No girls allowed.

CANDACE: Except for the one in the big cake.

AMBER: We don't wanna attend your dumb party...We're gonna trick-or-treat in the surrounding neighborhood with multiple costumes. We'll hit all the best houses five or six times each!

MATT: Why you vicious little capitalist....That is sneaky, dishonest, unethical, sleazy, immoral and utterly sinful!

AMBER: Yeah, yeah...So do we get a lift?

MATT: Sure, why not?

“Trick-or-Treat!” – Part 2/20: Some say Christmas has gotten too commercialized. After meeting Candace's sister, they might say the same about #Halloween! #cartoon #comic #holiday #kids #sisters #trickortreat

CANDACE: Okay, brat, get your Halloween costume on. We’ll hike to the church.

AMBER: Church on a pagan holiday??

CANDACE: That’s where everyone’s trunk-or-treating.

AMBER: They’ll all recognize us there, even in disguise!

CANDACE: So?

AMBER: So Matt’s going to a masquerade party. We can hitch a ride and work that neighborhood.

CANDACE: That’s an isolated neighborhood. It’ll take only twenty minutes to knock on every door within a mile! Matt won’t drive us home for hours!

AMBER: Guess we’ll just hafta make multiple rounds!
