trick or treat

I walked past plenty of Halloween decorations this weekend.  But it struck me that the current newspaper headlines feel spookier than any of them. 

Instead of the same-old ghosts, skeletons, and witch costumes rampant on Halloween, I thought it would be fun to imagine a real fright night for anyone who works in marketing: kids dressed up as the credit crunch, consumer belt tightening, or your bonus up in flames.

This is kind the same spirit as this Christmas cartoon I drew a couple years ago.

No cartoon last week, in case you were searching.  I was on holiday (our 10th wedding anniversary actually) and traded in my cartoons for watercolors of little French towns.  Nice break from 2009 planning, that's for sure.
