I couldn’t care less about Halloween these days, or shouting Trick or Treat. When I was a kid and getting to “that age” when your were too old to go trick or treating, I railed against it in denial. Nobody could tell me I couldn’t go out in costume and ask for candy.

As an adult, I have much easier access to candy, if I so desire. But I don’t. And dressing up has lost its grandeur. Maybe if I go to a costume party I’ll put in the effort, but I’m much too cynical to put in any real effort these days.

The last “great” costume I made was probably four years ago when I made myself a crane game/claw machine. I actually wore it to a friend’s bachelor party up in the mountains, and the strippers who later arrived took pictures with it because they enjoyed it so much. At least I think they did. That weekend was a blur. Lots of drinking. And then I lost the camera that had all the weekend’s shenanigans documented.

Smell my feet.

Here is our Archive of all published Mousebear Comics. Marvel at how terrible the quality used to be (or still is). These are merely cynical musings of two cautiously handsome Schadenfreudes. That’s right, we are increasingly bitterly or sneeringly distrustful, contemptuous, or pessimistic. We welcome you to our accumulation of visual historical records organized over the lifetime of Mousebear Comedy. These comics have been selected for permanent or long-term preservation on grounds of their enduring personal value.
