THE BEAST IS SUMMONED!!!

We are back my CRAZIES!!!  We are halfway there folks! Halloween is just two weeks away and I am totally in the spirit!  All my yard decorations are up (I swear one of these days I will do a post on those) and I've been lucky enough to take part in some of the festivities happening around Southern California.  I FINALLY go to Universal Studios Hollywood's Halloween Horror Nights this year!  It was certainly different from anything I've ever done before, that's for sure.  If you've never been chased by a bunch of blond-soaked circus clowns carrying chainsaws before, then let me tell you it is a VERY novel experience!  But enough about that.  It's time for some spooky art, and today's piece is loud enough to summon the Hell Beast itself!  Enjoy...

Kazoos...  Quite possibly the only musical instrument hated more than an accordion!  Actually, accordions get a bad wrap in my opinion.  You can get some really unique sounds out of an accordion besides just using them in a polka.  Don't believe me?  Look up some Zydeco music or even some Fleetwood Mac songs that Christine McVie played accordion on.  You'll see!  But back to kazoos.  They are irritating as all get out and deserve all the hate, especially when played constantly by a kid hawked up on candy, cake and soda!  These boys might wanna make a run for it and soon, otherwise they might be blowing on those kazoos from a more southerly spot!  This piece came from my annual Fan Art Friday posts that I've done on-and-off since the pandemic more or less and was a gift for my pal Geoff Munn, creator of the hilarious comic #Parenting.  In it he portrays the daily misadventures of he and his wife as they navigate the waters of raising three good, but still rambunctious boys.  In one comic, his boys come home from a birthday party blowing on kazoos that were gifted to all the kids in their goody bags, prompting a VERY angry phone call to the birthday kid's parents!  It has become a bit of a running gag since as Geoff told me it has become a reoccurring thing at nearly EVERY birthday party his kids go to!  Take heart Geoff.  Your youngest is probably a good six years off from outgrowing them!

That's all for this week folks, but the spooks and screams are still strong as we work our way towards Halloween!  So don't chicken out because next week's post is definitely GASSY, er, I mean, GHASTLY!!!  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!
