Fear & Loathing in the “Holiday Section”

Last night a department store’s holiday section disturbed me so much that I had to photograph it:

The holiday section at Target

I know it looks pretty tame, but look closer. To the far right we have Halloween supplies. Far to the left we have more Halloween supplies (it’s hard to tell here, but those letters hanging from the ceiling say, “COSTUMES”). In between, we have Christmas supplies. Three days before Halloween.

I am not only an expert on time from having drawn comics about it, I am also an ordained minister, so I know what I’m talking about when I say THIS IS WRONG.

I drew this page at 4:25 PM when I started feeling stuck. I knew I wanted this scene in the story and that it would be fun to draw, so I skipped ahead to here. When I got stuck advancing this part of the story, I went back to the other part, and vice versa.
