About Donald Trump’s fantasy of nine rifles trained on Liz Cheney’s face (a firing squad?): disinhibition is one of the many markers of dementia. See also Trump’s increasing vulgarity in public (“a shit vice president”).
Disinhibition can also take the form of public nakedness. I recall a neighbor with dementia, standing in his backyard one day, naked, immobile — one of the eeriest sights I’ve ever seen. I called his family.
Where’s Donald Trump’s family?

Lois is serving up baloney this morning: “If you give your candy to the tooth fairy,” she begins.
The small size of comic strips sometimes creates problems with legibility. Ditto’s pirate eyepatch would be easier to recognize as an eyepatch if it were covering his eye. I thought at first that it was blob of digital ink. And yes, that’s a mustache above his mouth.

Halloween recap
We had many trick-or-treaters last night, shattering previous records. We kept track of costumes: bear, turtle, vet, Joy (from Inside Out ), just a kid (no costume), lizard, princess, T. Rex skeleton, witch, cheerleader. And then a group of ten teenagers arrived, by which point Elaine was off playing in a pit (orchestra, not snake) and I wasn’t about to inventory ten costumes in the dark.
Number of trick-or-treaters, number of treats, number of leftovers:
