As we chose some of Doug's comics featuring ghosts, witches, and other spooky characters, we were curious to learn whether he had Halloween or spooky themes in mind while creating them or if they simply emerged from everyday inspiration. "A bit of both," the artist shared. "The season triggers a lot of the ideas, but sometimes the grim reaper just shows up. A cliche."

I don't think a vampire starts kissing, before sucking blood.
Load More Replies...Doug's comics often feature humor around eerie characters like ghosts and the Grim Reaper, so we asked the artist what he finds particularly funny or appealing about these characters. "Not really appealing as such, but they do lend themselves to a variety of situations," he responded.

Isn't that pretty much the exact joke with the chicken? It's a word play or what you call it: crossing the street or going to the death realm. Or did I misunderstand something???? (Btw English is not my first language so I could very well have misunderstood something)

No, you're correct. Spiritualists and mediums (also called "frauds") refer to the after-life as "the other side", which is the punchline to the original joke about the chicken.

I've never understood the point of that weird rule. Luckily it's out of fashion now
Doug shared with us that since he creates both greeting cards and cartoons, holidays play a significant role in inspiring his work. He finds that the themes and spirit of various holidays influence both his cartoons and the designs for his greeting cards. "Often the same cartoon can be used on both."

Makes me wonder..... how does death's wife look like? Is she also a grim reaper of some kind? Or the opposite?
Brain-In-A-Vat 1 year ago
Well, according to the TV show 'Mulberry', https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulberry_(TV_series), the Grim Reaper's wife is Springtime . . .

The origin was the stick was covered with herbs that caused hallucinations and visions. But it was put somewhere else between the witches legs.

Didn't the people who burned supposed witches at the stake ever wonder why those witches did not use their powers to escape?

Actually, if you read the story, that's not what the creature did, it was a peaceful vegetarian - and it's always referred to the creature, not the monster.

Anybody else old enough to feel the Charles "I wanna be Camilla's tampon" vibes here?

I was surfing the interesting internet one day and came upon a bath bomb. It was a bloody tampon bath bomb. This comic is in a tight race with discovering that tampon bath bomb and me not really wanting to know about either of them. But in all fairness, I can understand the appeal it has to others. If it's not your cup of tea, you don't have to drink it. :)
