You may hand out sweets, sweet and chocolate on Halloween. But at my home, the youngsters get comedian books. And they could not be happier.

Every yr for the previous twenty years, in Kingston Vale on the south-west outskirts of London, I’ve found that our home has turn out to be a goal for teenagers at Halloween time. Because I’ve now obtained the fame for not giving freely sweets, candies or sweet, however “American comic books”. Okay, I throw just a few British ones in there as properly. But much better to rot their mind than to rot their enamel. And it is all the time enjoyable to see youngsters combat and rip their method to a recognised character or one thing that simply appears cool. Why do not you attempt it? Look via the gathering, discover some spare semi-suitable selections and put a small field of them by the entrance door. And then inform me the way it goes.

So far tonight I’ve seen round 100 youngsters, some repeat guests from earlier years, certainly some who at the moment are dad and mom bringing their very own youngsters telling me they all the time got here to our home as youngsters. Lots of individuals declaring this to be one of the best Halloween home on the property, consequently, after which bringing their pals to point out them what they found. One youngsters stated she had by no means had a comic book guide of her personal earlier than, and took a handful. Another grabbed a hardcover and with pleasure declared “I’ve got a.,.. HULK!” One child took a bunch of Neil Gaiman’s Norse Mythology blown away that such a factor may exist. Tthe Critical Role child was amazed, telling me that nobody else he is aware of even is aware of them. Oh and everybody loves Groo.

Kids love comics, who knew? You simply should get them into their palms and ensure they don’t seem to be (too) unsuitable for the youthful ones. A bit is okay, in spite of everything, it’s Halloween. Photos above taken and used with permission, thanks all! And see you once more subsequent yr!
