It’s the last week in September, and that means it’s time to prepare for a whole month of nothing but ostensibly spooky comics. I always look forward to this time of year, and one of the biggest appeals is the kind of content I get to produce. I have come up with quite a few comic ideas since last October, and I’m excited to finally get them down on paper.

It may seem like I’m starting off a bit early with this week’s comic, but I really see it as an introduction to the Halloween season. Not too scary, macabre, or gross (besides numerically.) Besides, there’ only four Wednesdays this October. Got to make up for lost time.
