Longtime readers of BitF are probably aware that I enjoy fake-outs and visual gags involving things that look like other things. Tweaking visual traits of the characters we take for granted was something I’ve wanted to do for awhile, and Halloween provided a good opportunity to stuff them all into one strip. The sketchy, shaded look is reminiscent of how I draw using my favorite medium: the pencil.

Today’s comic isn’t the only spooky thing I’ve been creating this week:

pump2

I’ve never been great at this, so perhaps I shouldn’t quit my day job. But Happy Halloween, you crazy readers. Don’t approach any Digletts.
