Meanwhile... The Possessed Pumpkin

🎃 Some office decorations just don’t know when to quit. Desi's enchanted jack-o’-lantern has a filthy mind and a bad sense of timing — a truly dangerous combination. When Giant Tess tries to steer the conversation away from Catnip’s “cans,” he pivots to Halloween jokes… which somehow manage to be even worse.

This one’s a perfect mix of spooky and snarky — just another day at the Fairmount branch.

Transcript

A four-panel black-and-white comic strip titled "Meanwhile... The Possessed Pumpkin" features Giant Tess, a supervillain from Evil Inc, and a possessed jack-o’-lantern pumpkin on a desk in an office. In panel one, Giant Tess scolds the pumpkin, saying, “You can’t say Catnip has great cans.” The pumpkin replies, “You can’t say she doesn’t!” In panel two, Tess, holding a can of pumpkin pie filling, says, “Fine. You wanna talk about cans?” The pumpkin nervously responds, “OK! OK! I’ll just tell some Halloween jokes.” In panel three, the pumpkin tells a joke: “Why did the ghost go into the bar?” Then answers, “For the boos. Get it? The boos!” Tess stares blankly. In panel four, Tess, looking exasperated, says, “Why can’t we just shove a candle in a pumpkin like normal people?” The pumpkin, now offended, replies, “Who’s being offensive now?!”
