IT’S THAT TIME OF YEAR!!!
It’s another weird deep dive into the bizarre sorts of costumes you’ll see at the Spirit Halloween store … only even weirder!
As for this comic…
I have long held the opinion that being called a fool is often the most cutting insult imaginable. Most insults are metaphorical; you might be called a ‘turd cake’ but you are not literally a turd cake, and thus the insult rings hollow. Alternately, people might attribute a negative value to some element of your person: insult you for being a certain height, or ethnicity, or religion, or whatever. And that rings hollow too, because their negative value is only their biased view. It is not objectively bad.
But ‘fool’ is objectively bad. And when you have, indeed, been foolish, and someone shouts, “You fool!” it cuts. It cuts deep. For you are, undoubtedly, the bad thing you are being called. Nothing cuts deeper.
Unless you’re Puck. Puck don’t care.
