spooky seasonal comics
panel 1: “Caution: scary comics ahead!” A guy asks “How scary are they?” and an off-panel person responds “They are mildly political in nature,” to which the first guy says “OH S#*! OH F*#!” panel 2: an unhappy vampire wearing a “VOTE VLAD” button on his shirt points to an election sign placed in his yard that says “Blood-Sucking Politician.” Vlad says “No, it’s not inaccurate, but it’s rude to put signs in other people’s yards.” panel 3: a man shines a flashlight from below his face, apparently in the middle of telling a spooky story. He concludes the story “‘I don’t know’ the voter responded. ‘I’m still undecided.’” a GASP and a fainting noise are heard off-panel. panel 4: a bald white politician is being led away in handcuffs by a cop. The politician says “WHAT?? Everyone knows you can’t win an election without kissing a few hands and shaking a few babies—WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL?”
