This isn't really timely anymore, so I guess I should make sure you know here that this is a Halloween (Or rather, Halloween alternative) strip.
I don't know if these parties are just a Midwestern thing, or if they're just an evangelical thing, but I never once when trick-or-treating as a kid, and these parties are what I did instead. They are like a little terrible carnival where you get Red Delicious apples for everything. Not pictured here: Candy corn, Peanuts.
I'm thinking that as much as I like it, I'll probably be swapping out Lacuna as the official Tall Comics font soon. The line spacing with those lowercase Gs bites me every time. There is one line in here somewhere where there are three lines that had to be kind of adjusted to accommodate this. To me, that says try a new typeface. (My Christmas list: Officina Sans.)
