If it’s too creepy, go back to Jack of the Lantern on Halloween.

I agree that is a bit disturbing

I’d prefer that to being startled by something that’s on a hair trigger for a long time. More like watching a growing thing.

Kind of like Billy Bob Thornton in Bad Santa as he was half in the bag literally!

Could be too much Applejack…

Smek! And now I can’t remember which old comic that comes from.

“Smek”? Really?

Face-plant the clown.

Looks like a toy designed to meet United States Consumer Product Safety Commission guidelines.

Nightmares? You and Buddy the Elf!

This is one of my favorites!

He fixed it for her a while back. Guess he didn’t do a very good job.

I don’t blame you, Alice. Make sure you put it in Petey’s room before you go to bed. If ever there was a reason for hammer time, this is it Beni.

Dunno. I think a slow-mo Jack is far less scary than a hypersonic Jack! Indeed, Jack looks forlorn and tired and generally worn out. Smek. C’mon, Beni and Alice, show the Old Toy some compassion and understanding!
