Spooky, soapy, etc.

Oh, huh, Gil Thorp as a vampire is gonna be a cherished annual tradition now? I'm not complaining, mind you. Far from it! I do question some of the vampire world-building here, though. Why would you bother getting into a sword fight if you were a vampire? No metal blade can harm you! You could simply knocke the mortal's weapon aside with your bare hand and begin drinking his delicious blood.

Hey, remember the whole plot where Mary briefly got into the wild world of competitive cake baking, with a friend who turned out to be into her, sexually? She's put those days behind her now, but it's nice that she's providing free (?) services for Ed and Estelle's bare bones wedding. It gives her an opportunity to show off her skills, and also self-aggrandize by imagining baking a single cake was just as a complex an undertaking as the painstaking and annoying emotional process we've been subjected to throughout Ed and Estelle's relationship. Why, she doesn't even have to deal with a transfer!

As a child growing up in Buffalo, I experienced this disappointment year after year -- and only much later, as an adult, did it occur to me that I should've come up with costume ideas that could accommodate or possibly even integrate a heavy coat. It was then that I took to heart the lesson that Rex Morgan is trying to teach us, which is that kids are actually pretty stupid.

Gertie, there is no part of the Halloween mythos where you make children answer questions about your special interest before you give them candy! Please, why are you doing this??? Just dress up as a NASCAR driver and call it a day!!!!!!
