[The dreaded Halloween Pumpkin Eater. Art by James Leddy. No date.]
It is All Hallows’ Eve’s Eve, at least by my reckoning. Our town’s three used-book stores will be giving out children’s books tomorrow. A greathearted gesture, that. Our household has assembled reserves of Hershey Miniatures, Heath Miniatures, and Dixon Ticonderogas — which, like books, should outlast all candy.
The illustration above is from a card by my dad, one of many through the years. It loses something in the scanning: the Eater is made of electrical tape. He is both scary and shiny.

Your dad was sure a talented man. I love the Calder-cat!
It is Calder-like, isn’t it? I never caught that.
