While that is, if course, a Kelly comic, I could swear that I've actually heard someone saying that Halloween is a socialist holiday that teaches children to beg for handouts. And also with the implied threat of violence if none are given.
Or something.
I mean, in today's political climate, can you really blame me for not being sure? Cuz gosh, I have seen some shit, let me tell you.
Oh, I think it gets most people the first time they see it, unless it's a particularly silly one. It certainly got me, though that was years ago so I don't remember specifically which comic it was.

Wait, there's an implied threat of violence to Halloween?
What?
well
there is the whole "trick or treat" thing
That's not an implied threat of violence, you do some kind of magic trick or sing a little song or tell them a joke, i.e. a treat.
America are you being bad and dumb at Halloween or something?

in today's Day by Day, a woman refers to Obama as "President Ebola" and threatens to murder him if either of her children contracts the disease. she then makes an incredibly awkward pun-joke about the effects of the ebola virus.

maybe there's some variation by location but uh i've always understood the "trick" as playing a trick, like a prank type thing, if you don't get candy
performing something is not an interpretation i've ever heard of

I'm willing to be convinced otherwise but afaik it's "give us a treat or we'll play a trick on you"
Egging your house being a popular choice
To steal from wikipedia, notoriously infallible source, "The "trick" is a (usually idle) threat to perform mischief on the homeowners or their property if no treat is given to them."
A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

Dude, we invented trick or treating.
The whole point of the phrase is "give me a treat or I'll mess with you", which classically involves toilet papering or egging the house.
I mean, it's intentionally obtuse but it'd still probably qualify as a shitcomic in this thread
Here, have a free sample
Hey! It’s a fact. Everybody has an important shigoto. It’s even so in the RPG universe. Role of “Bike Man”, role of “Bread Sales” and so on. However!! In “RPG”, isn’t there a certain hito you want to become…? Isn’t it…??

the argument is as such
kids saying "trick or treat" is the implied threat of violence, "if you don't give us candy we'll fuck up your house with flaming poo-bags and eggs n such"
playing into the right-wing narrative of socialism/communism being brutal, bloodthirsty systems of coercive participation.

Buh?
The trick is just a harmless prank but only if the treat is not awarded. Violence never enters the equation. If somebody sang instead of giving out candy though . . .
In the last 40 years though the phrase has entirely lost that meaning and is basically a seasonal " hello"

Right, that's the problem. Not the history of excluding webcomics from prestigious awards traditionally given to print comics, like anything awarded by the NCS, which only even let webcartoonists join two years ago. (And has awards restricted to "web comic strips,")

I also have two bowls. One with relatively good candy and one with shit-tier stuff. Guess what the costumeless adults get.

Yeah I've seen this happen a few times in my Facebook feed and it just gives me a headache.
There is more to this page on The Last Halloween but it appears to contain a butt. On the creepy flesh monster from before.
Just playing it safe.
Also, Abby already had trick or treat-ing covered. Plus the equal response.

Because multi-paged web comics, and "strip" web comics are totally eligible for pulitzers. Making that a completely valid comparison.

I finally figured out what's driving me crazy about all these portraits of folks.
Their skin doesn't look like flesh. The way it's drawn makes it look slick and reflective, like it's made of plastic or metal.
