Here we gooooo with the finale festive AEET post of October 2026, --and we're throwing a Hallowe'en party the likes of which no bully blowhards can defy! The costumes are super slayin' this time around, (especially that Robot Frankie Stein suit!), and the boo-bash games have only just begun! Now if bobbin' for apples leaves ya feeling damp, then maybe pinning a Hitler stash on a donkey's ass will brighten that super sour puss! Yep, this year, Hallowe'en is all about putting bullies in their rightful, rotten place, and you can apply that to whatever current event scenario you see fit. All of this excellent Edison Bell stuff is from the Nov. '42 issue of Blue Bolt Vol. 3 #6, --and whoa nelly, we even have a magnificent Earl Moran pin-up beauty stoppin' by to say howdy! Of course, don't forget to see what's happenin' over at THOIA today too, --where many more terrifyin' trick 'r treat thrills 'n chills await! Hope everyone enjoyed our month of posts!
Happy Halloween to Karswell and everybody else I've met and commented with on these blogs!
ReplyDeleteFun little kids comics where little kids could pretend to best older kids, which didn't really happen that much in real life. I really like the art, it's kind of scratchy (the inking is kind of weird?) but it works really well and everybody is distinct. Our two bullies like a little older than kids but I suspect that's an artistic license.
And that robot is awesome. You can build one, too, out of just some tubing and "odds and ends." As somebody who built a LOT of robot costumes for Halloween (a lot with working lights, as a kid) it was NOT that easy!
Looking back, and this kind of surprises me, I don't remember ever trick or treating as a robot. When I was a kid, I was always monsters with carefully worked-out clothing, accessories, and lots of theater makeup and putty. Later, as a young adult, I tended to dress up as dead versions of other stuff: Dead cowboy, dead carnival barker, dead housing inspector. But what a missed opportunity. Robot costumes are the coolest. Dead robot costumes are probably even better! Maybe next year!
ReplyDeleteNice story. It's got a real Bowery Boys Halloween Special vibe to it. I love the splash. I'm always delighted when artists draw kiddie Halloween parties.
HAPPY HOLIDAY, EVERYBODY!
Thanks you two, appreciate the comments
