[Panel 1]
[Bell]
Hello and welcome to the twenty-second
Guy Fawkes' Night so far this year.

[Nils]
You what?

[Elizabeth]
Don't you know the
old English rhyme?

[Bell and Elizabeth]
"Remember, remember the
Seventh of October..."


[Panel 2]
[Nils]
yeah yeah, "Gunpowder,
Treason and Plot..."

[Nils]
Always sounded a
good idea to me.

[Nils]
But I thought that was
the Fifth of November?

[Bell]
Not any more -- Nils, you are just so LAST
CENTURY. It starts earlier every year.


[Panel 3]
[Elizabeth]
To the Editor: Dear Sir, Today
I heard the first cracker-mine.

[Bell]
Actually it isn't Guy Fawkes yet. It's
Hallowe'en. You know, when all the
little kids go around being menacing.

[Elizabeth]
And their mothers
ENCOURAGE them to take
sweets from strangers.

[Nils]
I've still got some of those chilli
candies that Ginny brought back when
the bank sent her to Tokyo...


[Panel 4]
[Elizabeth]
Oooh, that's CRUEL.

[Elizabeth]
I LIKE it!

[Elizabeth]
It's not as if this Trick
or Treat nonsense were even
traditional in England.

[Nils]
Back home they'd find a
landmine under the doormat.

[Bell]
I think that may be what just
went "BOOM" across the road.
