Baconburg Horror Week – Wolf-o-lantern

 Here it is folks, the incredible Baconburg Horror Pumpkin*:

*Okay, fair enough. It’s NOT the Baconburg Horror. It’s actually the werewolf from “I was a Second Grade Werewolf.” Also by Pinkwater and clearly drawn by either himself of his wife Jill Pinkwater. The book doesn’t say. I’m leaning towards it being a Mr. Pinkwater production, but the werewolf does seem to have some Jill-ness about him.

Oddly, if you go a’searching on Google for the cover of “I was a…” instead of finding a picture of the werewolf, you find this guy:

Cece & Sam’s Halloween – Day 23

Sock Monkey is furious about the use of that Moldy Sock Monkey Pumpkin a couple of days ago. Sorry, S.M.! Here’s the pre-mold version, carved by Cece, of course:

 Now back to our regular scheduled program, here’s Sock Monkey’s pick for all-time best homemade costume….

We don’t know who this kid is, but I imagine we gave him lots and lots of candy.

Cece & Sam’s Halloween – Day 21

Cece’s friend Velora really has the market cornered on moldy pumpkin art, but here’s an official Sock Monkey pumpkin by Cece Bell that is slightly past it’s prime. Yes, all the black parts used to be white parts where she peeled away the skin to make it translucent. (sorry about the sunbeam)

And now for Day 15….

Here’s one of my alltime favorite Cece pumpkins!

Sam & Cece’s Halloween – Day 11

As you may be aware, I’m also a semi-pro juggler by the name of The Chicken Guy….

Here’s a clip of me from a Halloween show going up against a kid dressed as Darth Vader.

Congratulations to Steve of Plastic Pumpkins fame for correctly naming yesterday’s pumpkin as Ookla the Mok from “Thundarr the Barbarian,” a great old sci-fi/fantasy cartoon. I knew he would know, but wanted to see if anyone else could beat him to it!
