A two-panel SMBC comic about a Halloween party costume scheme. Panel 1, captioned "GREAT IDEA: EVERYONE SELECTS TWO COSTUME IDEAS FROM A LIST, AND ATTENDS THE HALLOWEEN PARTY AS A COMBINATION THEREOF." A small crowd stands before a posted list of costume options: ASTRONAUT, DOCTOR, ROBOT, DRACULA, PUMPKIN, LION. Panel 2, captioned "BAD OUTCOME:" shows a row of partygoers who all combined the same two ideas, ending up as near-identical green, scantily clad Frankenstein-monster figures. One asks, "DID ANYONE NOT COME AS FRANKENPERVERT?" The joke: combining two list items still produces clones, and the popular combo is an absurd, lewd one. Votey: A muscular bare-chested figure in only briefs, wearing a space helmet plus cat whiskers and ears, poses heroically against pink. Banner text reads "ASTROPERVERT! SAVES THE DAY AGAIN!" — another combination costume played as a campy superhero.
