Image description: A single panel comic. The caption says, "Halloween is when our costumes are taken off." In the background, a row of people in business suits check their watches, and start unfastening their neckties and buttons. In the foreground, a businessperson removes their blazer, transforming into a tiger with an optimistic smile. Description ends.

I've said before, in private, that I don't dress up because I don't feel comfortable hiding in a costume when I'm already hiding what I am.

I've also said that I probably could dress in costume to honor one of my totems.

Too bad I haven't got the materials for a good mask around here...

You don't have paper or glue to make papier-mâché?

Not even that. I'm poor, and glue isn't on the shopping list. Flour should be, but hasn't been.
