True stories are always the scariest.
Fun fact: The story of the dusty bear is based off a part of my original thesis project.

Thus begins the tale of the dusty bear. Admittedly, it’s not very spooky yet, just sad. But some say horror, like comedy, is tragedy plus time. After all, horror needs time in order to grow…
Fun facts: See if you can guess what television program is being watched and which picture book is being read in panel 3.

“This one’s actually a true story, actually…”
It’s spooky month, which means the blog will be taking a break from its regularly scheduled programming to bring you an appropriately spooky story. For those of you who are dying to know how Dirk’s current arc continues, shudder in fright, for that will have to wait until November.
Fun facts: As you can see, I decided to take the opportunity to throw some of my favorite things into this week’s comic. As Softboy mentions in panel 3, the residents of Chrisville have decided to dress up as characters from the video game Deltarune, which released its second chapter only a couple of weeks ago. Chris is dressed as Ralsei, Softboy is Lancer, Leo is Kris, Madame Croc is Susie, the Butterfly Bear is Noelle, and Dirk is the King. These costumes were largely distributed based on personality and not on character dynamics/relationships. The biggest exception to this, though, is how Madame and BB are clearly doing a couples costume.
The “ghost stories” that Leo told Softboy are, of course, the stories of the BBC television series Ghosts.
Finally, the “plant musical” that Dirk mentioned is Little Shop of Horrors. Its original musical ending is somber and dark, with character death and the end of the world depicted in song. Softboy, of course, much prefers the movie adaptation’s ending, where Seymour saves the day and marries the love of his life.
