We always get a little ambitious around Halloween. This year, my wife and I have done all the usuals—movies, board games, haunted houses, etc. But one project has eclipsed them all.

Don’t put down that pencil and for the love of god never listen to anyone who tells you to draw something “nicer.” Find your niche and fill it. You’re the only you, and you’re indispensable.
