Cartoons: sour drops for Halloween

For today, here are some cartoons playing on the Halloween theme and some that caught my attention.

The GOP base may be alive, but is it aware?

According to the Wikipedia article on low information voters:
Some low-information voters' views are more moderate than those of high-information voters, they are less likely to vote, and are looking for a candidate they find personally appealing. They tend to be swing voters, and they tend to vote split-ticket more than well-informed voters do, researchers say because they lack a coherent ideology.
Seems to me this Wikipedia article sounds biased. Voting a split-ticket may be a good thing; it might help to break up some of the partisanship in Washington.

A hazmat suit is a costume, too, just a hopefully well-functioning one.

Creationists aren't going to like this one.

This cartoon depicts its environment beautifully well. But it begs the question: does anyone have faith in the reality television genre?
