Happy Halloween From Lattaland!

It’s Halloween everybody! Break out your VHS copy of ‘King Ralph’ and cut loose, but,  like, don’t go all  bonkers mckooky.

Everyone wants to have a safe and happy Halloween for themselves and their children. Using safety tips and some good horse sense can help you make the most of your Halloween season.

Most people think of Halloween as a time for fun and treats. However, roughly four times as many children aged 5-14 are chopped up by psychopaths & buried  in crawlspaces.

The excitement of children and adults at this time of year can sometimes make them not as careful as they would normally be. Simple common sense ideas can  stop tragedies from happening like dressing up as Snooki, Mr. Star Wars or going to a party in blackface.

To make Halloween an enjoyable and safe evening, allow me to offer the following tip: Don’t stick candy corn up your butt.

From our family at Lattaland to yours, Have a happy Halloween, Creep-os!

Cartoon & Candy Halloween Hootenanny: Popeye In Spooky Swabs

Ahoy there, Kiddies! I mean, uh, boo.

Today’s spooky Famous cartoon  treat features one of my favorite characters Popeye kicking the bejesus out of  a buncha ghosts, as was all the rage in 1957.

This cartoon has turned up countless times on those 100 cartoons for a dollar bargain bin dvds thanks to the terrifying fact that it slipped into public domain.  Watch those copyrights, Boils and Ghouls!

Halloweirdo No. 20 The Walking Fred

  Who knew the post-zombie-apocalypse world would look so… pre-historic? Well, Josh Latta did. At least as he imagines it for Halloweirdos.
    Through the courtesy of Fred’s two guns the band of modern-stone-age survivors hopes to make it from Bedrock to the CDC in Atlantarock alive.
    Someday, maybe Fred will win the fight and the zombies will stay dead all night.
Yabba dabba boo!
 Don’t forget, ghouls,  each week day of October will have a new  post from some of the gruesomest talent from Wide Awake Press.

Cartoon & Candy Halloween Hootenanny: A Witch’s Tangled Hare

Hello again, Kiddies! Today’s installment of the creepy cartoon cavalcade, not to be confused with the one by Seth McFarlane, comes from 1959 and is called a spoof a couple of Shakespeare plays. (Hamlet, Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, if you will.)

Spoooookkkkyyyy.

What’s really spooky is that it is directed Abe Levitow. Who’s ever heard of him?

Halloween Hootenanny 2011

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

Bon Voyage, Josh Latta (and Don’t Come Back!!)

   Mine is a tale of pain and sorrow,

    longing and heartache, and betrayal.

    But let me assure you– this, like

   any story worth telling, is all about

   a girl.

Oh, Wait. Silly me. That’s Spider-Man’s story. Mine is a little less realistic.

Well, friends, clients, well-wishers, steady bad-luckers and those of you the accidentally landed here in Lattaland, I’m pulling up the stakes and leavin’ Dodge for Baltimore. That is to say, once I find out what state Baltimore is in. I’ll just head north and no doubt I’ll find it eventually.

You know what, folks? I feel good. I feel really, really good. I’ve never done anything like this, and it’s my time. I lived on the mean streets of the ATL all my life, and it’s high time for change and an adventure.

Sure, it’s exciting, but it hasn’t been easy. I had to leave behind my home, my studio, my pets, my family, my friends, a woman that loved me and, well, basically everything I have ever known. Man, that’s hard, contrary to what anyone thinks.

However, I am not doing this to be alone. Heavens no. I met someone. I met a woman with a face that could launch a thousand ships, and raise a sail or two, if you know what I mean. Erin is just the type you’d shuck it all behind for and travel 600 miles to be with. I don’t think I have ever been surer of anything in my life.

If I may stop with the sap for a second, allow me to give a big fat middle finger salute to all you judgmental old maids, spinsters and shrews. Keep clucking, hens. I am still the cock of the walk. You know who you are.

So along, Atlanta! I shant forget you.

Chapter 2 begins here.

 

No wait.

Here. It begins here.

 

 

 

Brad’s Birthday Present Avatard

Does this avatard look familiar to you? It should. I drew it way back in the day, but lo and behold, I dusted off this ol’ chestnut, redrew it and hand colored it for Brad’s wife to frame and give him for his birthday.  Happy birthday, chum!
