For this comic you have to imagine it as two separate pictures depicting almost identical scenes. There are three kids dressed as a devil, a ghost and a witch, and they are outside a person’s home receiving treats on a tray from the resident. In the background, their parents - parent 1, parent 2 and parent 3, watch on from the pavement. There are labels pointing to every person in each scene.

HALLOWEEN IN AMERICA

[Labels]:

Joyful [a person at a cosy party seen through the window of the house] 

Ebullient [Another person at the party, we see them laughing through the window]

Charmed [A fully dracula-costumed guy handing out trates at the front door]

Home made skull cookies and lemonade [The contents of the man’s tray he is handing out to the kids]

Delighted [The first kid on the path, dressed as a devil]

Excited [The second kid on the path, dressed as a ghost]

Enraptured [The third kid on the path, dressed as a witch]

Emotional [Parent 1, stood back on the pavement, beaming in joy]

Proud [Parent 2, clasping their hands, tearful]

Capturing the moment [Parent 3, taking a photo on their phone]


HALLOWEEN IN BRITRIN

[The same sort of scene, but in Britain]

[Labels]:

Angry [A dog barking out the window. There is no party going on in the house. Through the window we see a woman just wtching telly]

Offended [The woman having her TV show interrupted]

Resentful [Guy dressed in normal clothes, grumpily handing out β€˜treats’ on a tray at the door]

2 Celebrations and a Rennie [The contents of his tray]

Disappointed [Child 1]

Awkward [Child 2]

Awkward [Child 3]

Awkward [Parent 1, standing with arms folded]

Mortified [Parent 2, looking embarassed]

Checking for paedophiles [Parent 3, looking suspiciously at the guy answering the door]

[ends]

Cartoon by Stephen Collins for the Guardian, here's the script:

[SCENE: THERE ARE TWO TALKING COCKROACHES, THEY ARE BBC BREAKFAST PRESENTERS]
DAVE COCKROACH: Good morning!

It’s Wednesday May, 76,000,002,018  AD 
You’re watching BBC Breakfast with me, Dave Cockroach
SELINA COCKROACH: And me, Selina Cockroach

DAVE COCKROACH:  Well, today is set to be the hottest day ever recorded in Britain, as the sun swallows the Earth

SELINA COCKROACH: What a scorcher!

DAVE COCKROACH:   Here to tell us More is Matt who’s down in sunny Brighton. Hi Matt!

MATT COCKROACH [REPORTING FROM WHAT REMAINS OF BRIGHTON]:   Morning Dave! Well, the sea is long since evaporated down here…

But that hasn’t stopped every cockroach coming out to enjoy the glorious blood-red sun hovering ten feet above the ground.

Great news for Ian Cockroach here, who sells ice creams

How’s business Ian?

IAN COCKROACH. LEANING OUT OF AN ICE CREAM VAN: I’m on fire

[IAN COCKROACH CATCHES FIRE]

DAVE COCKROACH:  Ha ha! Oh dear I think Ian is -

[DAVE COCKROACH CATCHES ON FIRE]

[THE STUDIO IS ENGULFED IN FIRE]

Since seeing A Complete Unknown (which is really, really good) I have been educating myself about more of Dylan's music than just the well know ones... And holy shit how good is Blood On The Tracks!
