It’s October!

Shrimpenstein! was a kooky kid’s show that aired in Los Angeles in 1967-68. In the show, Dr. Von Schtick pals around with Shrimpy, a monster he created when he accidentally dropped a bag of jellybeans into his Frankenstein machine. I’ve only seen the one episode that’s on YouTube, but that was enough to make me a fan.

And so, The Countdown to Halloween begins! So does my month of daily blog posts on the theme “Haunted” for NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month.) I have all sorts of creepy crawly cartoons planned for the next 31 days, and I’ve given my website a makeover to help give you the Halloween Heebie-Jeebies.
