For the end of this year’s October drawing challenge, I decided to do a special colored pencil edition. Here are Softboy and Leo enjoying their fully finished Halloween costumes as Moomintroll and Snufkin.
Have a happy Halloween, everybody!

Happy Halloween, everybody! This year’s Halloween might be pretty different than usual, and a lot more scary in all the wrong ways, but that doesn’t mean we still can’t have fun and connect with our friends. No matter how you’re celebrating it, Softboy Pillowman and everybody in Chrisville wishes you all a lovely, spooky holiday.
Also, let’s give a warm welcome to Chris’s two best human friends, Lorrie and Makena! They won’t appear too frequently, since this blog is centered around the toy world in Chris’s bedroom, but they’re currently two of the most important people in Chris’s life. Lorrie is dressed as a pirate, and Makena is wearing an impressive homemade costume of Wolf from the cartoon Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts.
Fun facts: The two spooky movies that Chris mentions in the second panel are, as you can see from the posters, The Nightmare Before Christmas and the 1990′s version of The Witches.
Also, don’t worry. Chris likes all the “gross” candy his friends are giving him.

We’re back to Halloween planning with this week’s comic! Madame Croc can get a little flustered when it comes to her crush on the Butterfly Bear, but it won’t stop either of them from having a fun Halloween. This comic also features the return of Moth, and the debut of vis cryptid humming speech.

I had a great deal of fun with today’s prompt, “Another OC’s Outfit.” Softboy is dressed as Fel, my Invader Zim OC, and Leo is dressed as Mallowmarsh, one of my Moomin OCs.
You know, it’s just occurring to me how much I like putting stars on my OCs’ clothes…
They’re still working on the hat, but Leo’s almost all prepared to join Softboy in Chrisville’s Halloween celebrations. That is, if these strange little arguments don’t keep interrupting everything.
Fun fact: I was going to put in a more fitting punchline, where Leo brings up a number of beloved properties that were sullied by tacky American movie adaptations (ie The Smurfs, Alvin and the Chipmunks, almost any work by Dr. Seuss, etc.). However, not only could I not think up a list long enough for the punchline to be suitably funny, but also my computer started to malfunction and I lost a day or so of work because of it. Exhausted, I finally scrambled to shove in an actual argument I had with a British friend a week or so ago about calling ketchup a “tomato sauce.” I checked this argument with another UK friend, and it seems to be a legit difference in understanding.

October is here, and Softboy has already prepared his Halloween costume. However, he may have started an interesting discussion on whether or not toys need dress codes.
Fun fact: This comic contains a sneaky little reference to a Softboy comic I drew in my notebook a while back and shared with a select group of friends. I couldn’t redraw the comic for the blog, though, since its humor was obviously 13+. I thought I might as well smuggle the fun bit into another story.
