I dressed up as a human for Halloween, but I don’t think anyone got it.

Since I missed your post in time for Halloween, I’ll make a more global comment that addresses my belief that most of us wear masks from time to time. I sometimes feel like a monster but somehow manage to hide that part of me…at least I hope I hide it! 🙂

  I have often thought of things this way too. Wearing masks. Out of fear, in an effort to impress , deceive or intimidate, because of insecurity or to project false assertions of who we are. I suppose optimum mental health would be to become better people in that we are comfortable in whom we are with no need for apologies.

I’m just glad to see that my face isn’t one of those masks!

Happy Halloween, Carl! Those masks are ghoulish. I can see why the monsters would be scared. 🙂

  Costume? Florida beach bum: no shirt, ragged shorts and no shoes. My daily attire.

    Well then, well played. No one will suspect a thing, let alone that you’re bedecked for Halloween. 😉

    The the 007 trick. To make a disguise not look like a disguise. In addition I have become invisible ! Yep. Now that I am 63 and white haired,young girls see right through me and don’t even know I’m there.

There was a Twilight Zone episode where the hideous creature was actually a beautiful woman being attended to by monsters or aliens. Can’t remember which exactly, but it packed that perfect didn’t-see-that-coming twist at the end. Rod Serling was a genius, and your cartoon reminds me of that episode. It’s a compliment. 🙂

  To be mentioned in the same sentence as my man Rod certainly is a compliment.

  What I don’t get are the shows for old people’s crap from long ago. Where are my contemporaries listening to Stones, Doors, Led Zep and Beatles ? Surely this is what my age group wants as entertainment.

    I agree! How come when you turn 60 + (and are still listening to Hard Rock while drinking your beer) that you are associated with a group wearing straw hats, stripped shirts and have canes while singing old bicycle built for two songs? Dude! I’m pissed!!! I’m so mad I may paint my walker in psychedelic paisley patterns and scope out a nickle bag! Just as soon as I take my nap and get over to the early bird special before 4pm.

Wet and windy Sandyween where you are Carl – hope you don’t get too spooked or wet and have some groceries and candles on hand, but no candies for Sandy – she’s a bad assed kid…

This is huge over 55 complex so should get no trick or treaters. Hey, wait a minute. Does that mean I can’t go out ?
