This is my favorite one. Seriously.

Are you refusing my hospitality?

October 20, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterKevinKunreuther

If I haven't terrorized at least a few not-even-trying teens, then it ain't Halloween. Crying smaller children are just a bonus. And, yes, I am a Father!

When I first read it, I didn't notice in the forth panel he's just pouring soda in, that's so great. Funniest comic ever

I am indeed noticing the jazz hands, and i appreciate your showmanship

Looks like I'm going to have to forget the candy this year and go for the Mr. Pibb.

If I go Trick-or-Treating, I'm bringing a cup.

All four panels are gold!

I will yell "ARE YOU REFUSING MY HOSPITALITY?!" at everyone now.

After the whole Dr Pepper event, it it hilarious to me that you are foisting off Mr Pibb on the trick-or-treaters

Oh! I had forgotten about Count Spockula!

That is seriously an amazing costume.

If I weren't female and stuck handing out candy, I would totally use that this Halloween.

There is no. Such. Thing. As too much Mr. Pibb.

October 21, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterAnother Rob

You see... the statements made in 2003, still works for 2007 and today!

That's some personality!!!

I wanna try Mr. Pibb. The don't seem to have it in my part of Canada.

October 21, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterByron Black

Ahahaha. Ha. I'd forgotten this one. That last frame is just perfect.

October 21, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterEric Phillips

I also like this one the most, so far.

When performed on stage, the audience shouts "Forced Brutality" over Scott saying "Hospitality" in panel 4.

Any comic with Jazz Hands automatically becomes one of my top ten. Of course, this could be because I've been shouting, "This calls for...JAZZ HANDS!" (and making the appropriate gesture) since about 2005.

Get your paycheck? "This calls for...JAZZ HANDS!"
There are four squirrels and a chipmunk on the neighbor's lawn? "This calls for...JAZZ HANDS!"
Want to let the dog know you're still alive? "This calls for...JAZZ HANDS!"
Pull up to a stop light? "This calls for...JAZZ HANDS!"
The hospital is serving green gelatin instead of red? You guessed it, "This calls for...JAZZ HANDS!"

And @Tsunoba - Why can't Count Spockula give out candy?

October 21, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterJessiEeee!

Mr. Pibb is what you serve people who can't handle Dr. Pepper.

October 21, 2011 | Unregistered Commenterbigjimsmith

Per Simon's note and the recent Pibb vs Pepper debate: You are really pulling a fast one on this kid, Scott. Since you are a Pepper fan you are obviously disguising a trick back on the kid, as a treat. Way to stick it to The Kid!

October 21, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterJohn

Mr. Pibb. Well played, sir. Well. Played.

October 21, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterKaa

I thought the same thing, Simon!

And for those not fortunate enough to enjoy Mr. Pibb regularly, it is a slightly sweeter, less corbonated Dr Pepper. As with all things the Coca Cola company produces, Dr Pepper is over-carbonated and may be more difficult to drink without pouring over ice or allowing the soda to breathe a while to release some of the carbonation. Yes, I'm a soda connoisseur.

As I always say, it isn't Halloween until you've made an eight-year-old cry! (I help out at a friend's neighborhood haunted house.)

October 21, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterRedshift

I DRINK YOUR MR. PIBB! I DRINK IT UP!

October 21, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterNufftin

Definitely one of the top ten of all time... I'm not sure where I'd place it vs. How to Fake a Smile, but it's a classic. The last panel always reminds me of my brother.
