Okay, so I said that I'd had it with Halloween. No more, I said. However, reviewing my picture folder I came across this unique approach to the classic Jack O'Lantern. Wow! How barbaric can you get? Peter, Peter pumpkin eater indeed! So Peter was a cannibal all those years (though the nannies always protected me from that knowledge.) Who'd ever have guessed it.

A very artistic rendering. Replace the small melon with a big black seegar and it would be a caracature of an evil capitalist.

Gives a whole other meaning to Halloween......
ReplyDeleteI didn't carve a pumkin this year, but we had more kids than previously. Lots of little ones being taken around by the parents. Glad I bought some goodies and glad I have some left over.
ReplyDeleteThat's a goodie. I love it. :)
ReplyDeleteI like that one too. We bought a plastic jack o'lantern with an electric light in it a few years ago so our pumpkin carving days are over.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you decided to add one more Halloween picture because this one is worth it.
ReplyDeletebro -- that may be what it's depicting anyhow...
ReplyDeletechanges -- yes, indeed.
steve -- what are the favorite costumes in Bavaria?
kate -- I was lucky to see it, over at the Sam Hill Warehouse for the Prescott College art auction.
cat-A -- it would be silly for me to take up pumpkin carving at this late age, so I make do with a handful of pictures.
jarart -- Isn't that a terrific pair of pumpkins?
GJ, I think I saw mostly witches on the little girls. Nothing stood out for the boys.
ReplyDeletesteve -- sounds like the German kids are in the early stage of the Halloween holiday mania.
