Getting as much candy as possible is the ultimate goal of a successful Trick-or-Treat excursion, but the best route for collecting candy is the one that’s the safest! Traveling with a trusted adult down familiar streets is the best way to go, especially when wearing reflective colors and items, using flashlights, and watching carefully for traffic!
Text version of today's comic for screen readers
Panel 1: Melanie is deep in thought as she types on a computer tablet.
Melanie: "Let's see... I've got my candy route programmed into the GPS for easy Trick-or-Treat navigation...."
Panel 2: Melanie looks up with a concerned look on her face.
Melanie: "...But 6.8 miles is a lot of ground to cover in two hours!"
Panel 3: Melanie studies her tablet, deep in thought. Andrea has an unimpressed expression as she looks up from her spooky story book, "Haunted Tiger" which has a cat that greatly resembles Mr. Sprinkles on the cover. An excited Kay holding a cookie is flying nearby and is wearing a bobble-y jack-o-lantern headband. Mr. Sprinkles is next to Melanie, glaring at her, and is wearing a bobble-y ghost headband. Both headbands sparkle and light up.
Melanie: "I'll need some sort of transportation device."
Andrea: "How about your feet? As in... just walk through our neighborhood like we usually do?"
Kay: "Will there be cookies?!"
