Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves. One for practice and the other one is the "main" grave.

any questions?

edited screenshots from the "Haunted Elevator (David Pumpkins)" sketch on SNL.

A couple (labeled "newspaper readers") riding the haunted elevator ask "Okay, yeah yeah. And cow tools is..."

Tom Hanks with cow horns (labeled"Gary Larson") wearing a goofy pumpkin jacket and an even goofier face stands between two guys in skeleton costumes behind a table with 4 crude tools on it and says "Its OWN thang!"

The confused passengers continue, "And the wierd saw is..."

To which the skeletons respond in unison, "PART OF IT."

Next time (Oct. 1), we subject ourselves to the disorienting effects of “Wolverine: Weapon X” by Barry Windsor-Smith! Our “All My Xs” miniseries reaches 1991 with Logan’s origin — but is that what this dense, dark storyline actually is?

This is one of my favorite "Peanuts" strips.

It's KER-LEAF! season, too!

That's one for The Onomatopoedia: The Encyclopedia of Onomatopoeia

In a Peanuts comic strip by Charles M. Schulz, originally published 10/08/1966, Lucy toses a stone into a puddle with a "ker-splash" as Charlie Brown looks on. Charlie Brown then sees Linus jumping into a big pile of leaves with a "KER-LEAF!" sound effect. In the final panel, Charlie Brown asks, "Ker-leaf"?!!
