12 Days of Halloween: Day 12

On the Twelfth day of Halloween old comics gave to me:

Twelve cats a'scratching,
Eleven pilgrims hunting,
Ten paintings shaking,
Nine beasts attacking,
Eight spiders crawling,
Seven midgets gawking,
Six children waiting,
Five Poppupians,
Four furry gargoyles,
Three Trick-or-Treaters,
Two Montross Monsters,
And a giant Swarm of Nazi killer bees.

12 Days of Halloween: Day 1

The Twelve Days of Christmas start on the day after Christmas (December 26th) and conclude on Epiphany (January 6th), at least according to Wikipedia. In keeping with that (though I'm fudging a little), I'm pretending that Halloween goes for twelve days, too, commencing on Halloween night (October 31), and culminating on the anniversary of Typhoid Mary's death (November 11th.) How is that for timing, right? Also, the term "old comics" is loosely defined here as "comics from a few months ago and beyond." Poetic license. So! On with Halloween!

On the First day of Halloween old comics gave to me:

A giant Swarm of Nazi killer bees.
