Bobbing

We're at that time of the year when the strip starts to follow a regular pattern, as the calendar follows its usual path toward Christmas and the new year. Halloween is followed by Guy Fawkes, Remembrance Day and then Thanksgiving (or my birthday as it is known around here) and the long haul towards Christmas. My usual habit is to have the strips written months in advance and then draw them just in time for posting on the site, and this year my main inspiration for ideas has been the calendar. There are a couple of extra events this year that have been added to the schedule, you'll recognize them when you reach them.

So for the moment we're at Halloween, that bizarre celebration of the macabre that originated in Europe, mutated into something else entirely in America and recently got sold back to us in its new orange and black polyester clad form. Here's Smith's take on apple bobbing.
