HALLOWEEN 09: Falling Back, Looking Ahead

Well, dabblers, we've been on the road to this Long Halloween (hint : remember to turn your clocks back one hour tonight at 2am) for a month now, and we hope you've enjoyed it as much as Raley, the Abbracadabbling Archivists, my Springfield home office support staff, and I all have. We had plenty of lofty ambitions to make our first Halloween here on the blog as magical as possible, and I think we did pretty well.
I know I speak for everyone here when I say we'd truly love -- and need -- to hear what our readers and visitors have to say about our efforts. Your feedback is invaluable, and the thoughts you share with us today will help us improve our daily blogs and the content we feature tomorrow. Let us know what you've got to say, as well as what you'd like to read, see, and experience when you visit abbracadabbling.
And dabblers, you know exactly how to reach us: just scroll down the blog to our Back Issues department and the rest is as easy as pumpkin pie.
October comes to an end tonight, but vestiges of this amazing Halloween Holiday will remain on the comicsblog for a good while to come. Along with those holdover treats, many of the amazing columns like Comic Meme, Industrial Vigilante, Vintage Comics Stuff, and Comics University that we gave you a taste of in October will be up to full speed next month, and they're all shaping up to be fantastic and informative reads.
Our special feature Building the Blackest Night is on track to finally make it's appearance in November, and the winner of our FlashCAPTION Contest will be also be revealed early in the month. We'll have found Wally West, but that doesn't mean our fun has to stop: November's contest kicks off November 11th with Thanksgiving-themed challenge that will put your taste buds and your intelligence to the test! And you'll have plenty of incentive to do just that, what with a Near Mint copy of Image Comics' CHEW #1 going to next month's winner!
Before we sign off for the night, we'd like to remind everyone to keep an eye out for our FlashCAPTION Contest repostings. We've been promising they'd find their way to the blog on Halloween Night...and if the clock we're looking at can be trusted, the night is still young.
Happy Halloween 2009, abbracadabblers! For Raley and the Gang, this is the Dabbler, signing off until next month. See ya!
