Today we have a special “scary” definition just for Halloween. It was suggested by purpleartichokes, who not only sent in a photo of bathroom suffering from such an infestation (It is not hers!), but who also offered to model for today’s comic. Thank you purpleartichokes! ~ JamesVerbotomy – 2007-10-31: 01:21:00
