I started a new MiSTing on my humor blog last week, although I posted it first to rec.arts.tv.mst3k.misc because they have dibs on new MiSTings even today. And then it was a bunch of talk about comic strips. I did not get into Funky Winkerbean but, yes, I'm planning to do a piece about why everybody is mad at Funky Winkerbean this week. I mean more mad than usual because, hoo boy is it trying to end its almost-51-year run by making everybody mad.

Let's see some more of the neighborhood!
Bunch of little bedsheet ghosts haunting this house.
And here's a much more decorated home, including one jack-o-lantern that does the two-faces thing better than I did or else is two jack-o-lanterns slumping against each other. Not sure which makes more sense.
Projected-light decorations are getting more popular and this house shows some of them.
Here we've got a nice inflatable haunted tree to spruce things up.
Here's a nicely overfull porch; this time of year is when ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
bunnyhugger most feels the lack of a porch or anywhere to put a porch for our house.
And another string of ghosts and pumpkins on the porch here.
Trivia: On the 6th of July, 1918, William Randolph Hearst laid off the entire staff of his International Film Service cartoon studio. They were rehired and the studio reorganized, although it is not clear when. The studio only stopped releasing weekly cartoons from October 1918 through January 1919.
