SUNDAY FUNNIES: HALLOWEEN HI-JINKS 2020

Who says it has to be a Dalmatian?

Hello Everybody!

No one said I needed a costume!

Today you have both Autumn the Puppy AND Piper D. Katt here as we celebrate Halloween.👻

That's right Autumn. Of course Halloween this year is Saturday, so we're partying now because next Sunday will be November 1, which would be a little late to go Trick or Treating.

Yeah, if anyone does get to go Trick or Treating this year because of the rotten pandemic!😞 And it's gonna be a full moon too!🌕 The next Halloween moon won't be until 2039!😲

That will be a Blue Moon like this year's, and the next time we'll have a Blue Moon (2 Fulls in the same month) is August 2023! But that's neither here or there right now. Our job's to entertain the readers for a few minutes so let's get right to it.

I tried donating blood today. Never again. Too many stupid questions like, “Who’s blood is it? Where did it come from? Why is it in a bucket?” 

The witness couldn’t identify any body because they were all headless.

That's gross!

So's 144 of anything, but moving on...

Never challenge Death to a pillow fight unless you’re prepared to handle the reaper cushions.

“There’s only one thing that scares me about Halloween.” 

"Which is?”

“Exactly.” 

Anyone want some Pumpkin Pi?😉

I had to get a loan for an exorcism.

They said that if I didn’t pay them back, I would be repossessed.

Why do ghosts👻 go on diets?

So they can keep their ghoulish figures

Why don’t mummies take time off?

They’re afraid to unwind.

Who helps the little pumpkins🎃 cross the road safely?

The crossing gourd.

And on that note♫, I'm afraid it's time to say goodbye.

To all our com-pah-knee.

Wrong franchise Piper. Anyway, take care.

STAY SAFE! 😷

And one of us will be back next weekend for more Sunday Funnies!—AtP and PDK.

THE PUZZLE CORNER: OCTOBER 25, 2014

FUN FACT
Tiny, flying robots are being created to pollinate flowers and other plants because the Earth is losing its bee population to insecticides and pesticides.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Yes, we know when it is, but considering the next Puzzle Corner will be November 1st, we're celebrating Trick or Treat time with 2 brand new Halloween themed enigmas now. Ready?

BEFORE AND AFTER
Two different phrases share at least one word, so can be combined to form something new. Can you guess what it is based upon the clue below?

How the werewolf caught up with his debts

REBUS
A classic line is represented by the image below. Do you know what it is?

As usual, we'll reveal all next weekend. In the meantime, let's open up THE ANSWERS BOX and discover the results of the October 18, 2014 Puzzle Corner.

COMMON BONDS
To do this properly, we'll have to take the subsets a bit out of order this time.
03. {Groups 1 and 2} Everyone appeared in a "Bat-climb" Cameo during the course of the 1966-1968 Batman TV series.
01. {Art Linkletter, Jerry Lewis, Dick Clark, Sammy Davis Junior, Don Ho, Edward G. Robinson, Cyril Lord} All appeared as themselves, although most went unnamed until the closing credits.
02. The following appeared during the cameo AS that character...
Santa Claus (Andy Devine), The Green Hornet and Kato (Van Williams and Bruce Lee, respectively), José Jiménez (Bill Dana), Sam Stone from Felony Squad (Howard Duff), Colonel Wilhelm Klink from Hogan's Heroes (Werner Klemperer), Lurch from The Addams Family (Ted Cassidy), Suzie Knickerbocker (Aileen Mehle)

NEXT?
In the sequence E, T, T, F, F, S, S, E, ?
There were several guesses of T to continue the pattern, but the correct answer is N; because the letters represent Eleven, Twelve, Thirteen, Fourteen, Fifteen, Sixteen, Seventeen, (and) Eighteen. Which of course would be followed by Nineteen.
