Paint the Moon
alt text
A two panel comic by artist McLovenstein. In the first panel, an artist is set up with their easel in a nighttime forest glade with the moon hanging above the trees. The artist is saying, "The moon looks amazing tonight! I should paint it!"
The second panel shows the frustrated artist and their finished painting, with the moon an indistinct white dot in the way photographs of the moon invariably look.

The dumb flavors of Dum Dum
alt text
On Halloween, I hung out with @jlobster on my driveway giving out candy to what were mostly spidermen whilst sampling the many flavors of dum dum lollipops. They really don't taste like food of any sort. My younger daughter wanted to try it last night, so we had a contest. Blindfolded - we had to guess what flavors we were licking and how good they were. My older daughter was both judge and water bearer and gave out points and results at the end. I lost 6-9 out of ~15 flavors. One of my points was for eschewing the 1-10 flavor rating system and giving my mystery pop a negative three.
Here's a post from two years ago when @jlobster and I tried the rainbow of tootsie-pops and Smarties. All disgusting: https://mltshp.com/p/1QHZT
And here's a post of my dog, Lollipop who was incredibly confused as we said the word "lollipop" like 100x during the contest: https://mltshp.com/p/1RCAL

My favorite fact about Dum Dums is that the mystery flavors are literally just them changing to a new flavor, and labeling the crossover output as Mystery Pop while the old and new flavors are mixing in the machinery.
@wjcstp "this flavor is called "extruder cleaning routine 01""
i do kind of love the insane drift of "fruit flavors" in dumdums, tootsie rolls, and other "fruit" flavored candies, into something totally abstract and alien.
i always end up sampling a few things while i hand out candy because few people seem to trick our treat in my neighborhood (but i'm stubborn and won't quit). sadly this year the only fruit-adjacent things i had to taste were sour patch kids, which tasted like puckering during a diabetic coma.

Super Ace balsa wood gliders
These and the rubber band powered version
one of the best birthday parties I ever had was when my mom and I bought maybe twenty of these and everyone at my party got one; we spent the afternoon flying them in our yard, it was bliss
I buy these in bulk to give out at Halloween. I feed the trees.

Dinosaur Comics, in which T-Rex tells Dromiceiomimus and Utahraptor about SHERLOCK BATMAN, from the amalgam universe where Sherlock and Batman were one guy, only he peters out when he has to decide who helps Sherlock Batman fight Jokerarty and comes up with The Undertaker ("From 90s wrestling?"). The final panel has a banner, "The dangers of writing stories live."

Jar of orange substance
Haw berries from the tree out front, boiled, strained, reduced.

How do you use this elixer?
@0y3ahSansAcut3 I add a few tablespoons to a mug of hot water. It has a tart flavor that I find appropriate for the season
