Jolly Jack

 

Logan: It's nearly Halloween!  Do you know what that means?

Frederick: Sugar comas?

Logan:  Well, that too, but I was really thinking jack-o'-lantern time

Katie: We're way ahead of you.  We picked up this pumpkin when we went shopping

with Daddy Steve.  Don't you just love his cute little squiggle on top?

Logan: Now we need to design his face.

Frederick: Alright, but can we make him happy?  I don't like scary jack-o'-lanterns.

Katie: I agree.  Everyday life is too scary already.

Logan: Fair point.  We'll give him a happy face and call him "Jolly Jack."

Let's start by sketching it out.

Logan: There.  Not an ounce of menace in that face.

Katie: Hey, that looks really good!

Logan: They don't call me the 'Two-Eared Van Gogh' for nothing!

Frederick: Nobody calls you that.

Logan: Now to paint in the details 'cos Daddy Steve won't let us use a sharp knife.

He's such a killjoy sometimes...

Frederick: I think parents have to be that way.  It's in their contract or something.

Katie: It just gives Jack another reason to be happy 

because he doesn't have to go under the knife!

Logan: Finished!  What do you think?

Katie: Oh, that's perfect.  He looks very cheery, if a bit goofy.

Frederick: Actually, he sort of looks like...

All: FRANK!!!

Logan: I'll never be able to un-see that now.
