Whip out your wooden stakes. Polish your crucifixes. Melt your silverware into bullets. Halloween is coming and no one is safe…
…from the silly, horror gags Mike Pascale and I have created.
On Monday—Vampire Romance!

Okay, you’re a reporter (in the original art) and you concoct a fake story about your boyfriend (a junior lawyer at a big law firm.) You make it sound like he’s the real legal genius–and not his boss. So, which of the following do you think will happen?
A. Your boyfriend’s boss offers him a partnership and a big raise.
B. Your boyfriend is fired and hates you.
C. Your editor at the newspaper fires you.
D. Your boyfriend AND you are both fired. Your boyfriend hates you. And you’re a loser!
E. You’re hired by Fox News and date Sean Hannity.

Artist unknown. Art from Ten-Story Love #204, 1955.
↓ TranscriptSCENE: Woman sitting at a desk, holding a piece of paper and a pencil. She's thinking.
