Great Halloween cartoon of haunted house!

Last updated on January 3, 2023

Two cartoons here from the impressive Daryl Cagle’s roster of Cagle Cartoons. This first one is another example of a Cartoon I wish I had done.

From David Fitzsimmons, a beautiful example of limited palette that I talked about in my earlier post! Just oranges, browns and yellow – great colors for a Halloween cartoon, but it never would have occurred to me to use them like this. I didn’t even get the joke at first, I was so taken by the drawing – I thought it was one of those haunted houses that you pay to go in – which shows you where my mind is at. But this couple is buying it! Well, we all know murders have to be disclosed when a house is for sale. Even when apartments are rented, in Los Angeles. So maybe they should have told me when I moved here that one of the Charlie Manson murders happened just up the street?! (JK, I love this place!) (But yeah, it did.)

Caption for cartoon: They say it’s haunted by the young family who lost everything way back in 2009…and Foreclosed. Enjoy!

A rather odd cartoon after the jump, which is – well, it’s strange. I think you could say it would fit well in Cartoons I’m Glad I Didn’t Do.

It’s by Frederick Deligne, also of Cagle Cartoons. He’s a cartoonist in France. I myself have combined some odd elements – it’s a burden we editorial cartoonists bear – but this one stands out, doesn’t it? Let’s see, there is a witch, a ghost with a skeleton head (Death?) a pumpkin on a stick (?) and the moon. Plus the box on the guy’s head.  And, actually, I have read Windows 7 has very few bugs.

Caption: Trick or Treaters are a witch, death, a pumpkin and a Windows box. What are you disguised as? As a bug (Windows 7)
