Entities-R-Us Ghost Hunter Comic

The impending spooky holiday of Halloween is supposed to have significance amongst paranormal enthusiasts. Interestingly enough, I don’t share the connection…

For me, ghosts and spirit activity is not a frightful thing. I’ve been haunted year-r0und by spirits at times, not significantly on October 31. Culture tells us that black cats, witches, ghouls, goblins and ghosts are supposed to be highly active on “All Hallows Eve”. I understand the attraction to celebration and thrill seeking – scaring the pants off people (I love to do the latter!). Yet, I do not relate it to my comic strip!

In fact, I had to be reminded to do a Halloween cartoon this week… which totally upsets the rotation of cartoons. I had another series planned for this week that would have ended on Sunday. That one gets pushed to next week and THEN I finally get to a Guest Draw with Chip Coffey, psychic medium from Paranormal State and Psychic KidsTV shows. (Too bad I told him 2 weeks…) I may just re-finagle the whole thing yet again… we’ll see.

Like I said, Entities-R-Us doesn’t scream Halloween to me. Paranormal investigation is not about horror, trick or treat or scare tactics. It is about discovering who and what lies beyond the veil. There is nothing spooky about it,  just unknown.

Still, there is no fighting the whims of Hallo-fans… and so, I will do a Halloween comic. I’ve got a really funny one in mind. AND, I will enjoy the holiday as I always do. This year I get to dress my horse Blackjack up as a ghost hunter and perform to the Ghost Busters theme song. Yes, it will be silly, but fun. Blackjack will have a good time. Below is a photo of him in a dressage competition held near Halloween in 2005. We won the costume competition. (I dressed up as my horse so I could be “one with my horse” during my ride). I’d like to say his dressage scores were awesome, but it was all I could do to keep him from freaking out (It  was his first competition).

I really should carve a totally freaky pumpkin this year… I used to be good at that. Pumpkins should be on sale now…

Eat Cookies, Hunt Ghosts, Enjoy Haunting!
