Click on the thumbnail to see the entire image. This is my all-time favorite Halloween comic from Greystone Inn. It is an homage to Philadelphia’s Henri David Ball — a fantastic costume party thrown every year by jeweler Henri David. Tickets are $25 for costumed revelers and $60 for voyeurs. The proceeds go to charity. This year’s fete is at the Sheraton Center City Hotel at 16th and Race Streets in Philadelphia. Advanced tickets are for sale from the Halloween Jewelry Store, 1329 Pine St.: 215-732-7711. Get there prior to 10 p.m. if you’re buying tickets at the door, because the lines get long. 
The #GuigarChristmasCountdown Rolls On
Every day until Christmas, I’m releasing a brand-new holiday single-panel gag — and this year’s batch has already included:
- Overworked elves
- Malfunctioning snowmen
- Questionable reindeer behavior
- And Santas who are absolutely phoning it in
Next week’s cartoons keep the absurdity rolling. If you’re counting down to Christmas with me… buckle up. We’re not even halfway to the weirdest ones. Catch them on Bluesky, Patreon chat, or the Evil Inc Subreddit.
