Halloween
That time we dealt with tricks

As I plan to publish more regularly, now, ideally one time per week, I quickly came up with an idea for a Halloween strip.

In this scenario, Milo and I dress up to open up for kids who go trick-or-treating around the neighborhood.

This panel presents a change of scene, not only because we have just 180ed (we are now seen from the main stairway hall, waiting for kids to climb up the stairs after we just buzzed them up), but also because the gag is now on Milo, having eaten all the treats, and Carlo is the grown up one.

This may be the case why this strip was not so popular with our usual audience.

This strip was probably not so easy to understand, as it should always be: I now decide to slam the door, as we no longer have treats to offer. Kids are meanwhile climbing up the stairs. We could probably have waited to meet them?
There is then a bit about Milo’s skeleton costume, not approriate, according to Carlo, because Milo just ate all the chocolate, and one about Carlo’s head piece, with the hairline just identical to his actual one.

The final pun of the story is: we could have been fine with no chocolate treats, because these kids in particular were hoping for healthy food, like veggies.
This is also a gag on the posh neighboorhoods in Amsterdam and how these kids of white, “yoga and soy latte” parents, can be.
