A single-panel SMBC comic. On a house porch at Halloween, a figure in the doorway greets two small trick-or-treaters, one dressed as Iron Man and one as a witch, saying: "Oh how cute! Iron Man and a spoooky witch! Well, let me just extend my ovipositor and lay some canandy apples in your baskets!" The caption underneath reads: "We no longer go to the entomologist's house for Halloween" -- the joke being that an insect scientist hands out treats by laying them like an egg-laying insect. Votey (aftercomic): a close-up of one trick-or-treater's disturbed, queasy face with a speech bubble reading "It's... moist."
