BOO! It's Monday
Blondie, 10/30/23
I had a conversation with a friend the other day about those haunted houses you can go to at amusement parks and such for Halloween, and she drew a distinction that really stuck with me: some stuff you encounter at these things, like decor with skulls and bats and other goth business, is spooky, and other stuff, like people jumping out of the dark and grabbing you, is scary, and not everyone is into both! Anyway, what Blondie experienced -- a couple weird cosplayers coming up with a series of ever-dumber Halloween puns -- is spooky, whereas Dagwood's day, in which he once again had to weigh his emotional health against his family's finances when dealing with his abusive boss, is scary. Here to help!
