I've not gone out for Halloween in 2 years.

Last year, I had a terrible yucka-cold.

the year before, I had Newton, who was only 3ish weeks old, and needed constant supervision. (feeding every few hours, and keeping him warm and loved... I was by his side 24/7 in those days.

This year... I think I can pull it off. I have no idea what to dress as, though. the last year I dressed up, I went out with a crew, as the scarecrow (albeit overstuffed) from the wizard of oz. Nicole as the witch, Heather as Dorothy... we took kids trick or treating, then went to see a free concert of Lenny Kravitz and a few other really great performers... I'd like to take Stephen & Elisabeth out for T&T this year, or Kev's nephew and nieces.

Things I've been -

Scarecrow
The Ape from the Murders in the Rue Morgue
A Grand Inquisitor
Concept Design - The Hunt (head of a stag, huntsmans uniform)
The Green Man
Ghost
Pirate (eyepatch, yes! hookhand or pegleg, no!)
Little John (as part of a Robin Hood Theme)
Psychadelic Man (The *last* Time you'll see me in an orange unitard with tie dyed cape and boxer shorts over the front)
Flaming Carrot (superhero with a carrot head the top of which which burned a jet of flame, wore swim fins and traveled by a nuclear powered super-pogo)
Monsuir Mallah & The Brain. (monkey suit for me, with bandolier and red beret... I pushed a tanked brain in a baby carriage)

I take it that you got that panel from Grant Morrison's "Doom Patrol," my favorite mainstream comic run in history.

Woohah!

yupperdoodle! #34!

May I ask what you think of Morrison's X-Men issues?

I don't like them as much as his Doom Patrol (obviously), but he's doing an interesting job on the series. I particularly love his Emma Frost.

I'm not following them... I did like what he did with Justice league, though.

[drownedinink.livejournal.com]

Ah you should at least pick one up. The dialogue is fun, at least, and the art is excellent. Plus its fun to actually see things like Wolverine getting propositioned for sex.

"I did like what he did with Justice league, though."

You're probably the only person I've heard say that :) but I agree.

That's two of us... I thought it came out ok. :)

Somone propositioned Logan? Who? Sabretooth?

[drownedinink.livejournal.com]

LOL, that'd have made history.

Domino actually, and specifically for "no-strings animal sex."

Re:

heh... you know, I don't even know who domino is.

[drownedinink.livejournal.com]

She ran around with that Cable guy a lot.

Don't know anything more than that...

Oh yeah, how could I forget?!

A few years ago I went to a Halloween party dressed as a witch. I didn't do it on purpose, but I ended up looking EXACTLY like the witch from the Wizard of Oz. It was a total last minute costume, but it looked great. Turns out that there was a Dorothy at the party, and she ran screaming everytime she saw me. It was pretty hilarious. I just kept muttering "and your little dog too" the whole night.

*giggles*

The girl I went with when I was scarecrow did thw wicked witch bit realy well... though when she said "how about a little fire, scarecrow"... it was more sexy than witchy.
