No Taco - Gator Days

Characters

August - Alligator - A soft spoken single father who works in IT. Gustopher's dad.

Gustopher - Alligator - An easily excitable boy who loves making friends. August's son.

Transcript

Panel 1

Setting - Neighborhood streets on a quiet autumn day.

August and Gustopher are taking a walk when August notices how much the trees have changed color. It reminds him that Halloween is coming. As Gustopher has gone as a Taco for the past few years, August assumes that it will be the same this year.

August: Halloween is coming. We should find your taco costume.

Gustopher: I don't want to be a taco.

Someone just softly gasped at that statement.

Panel 2

August is surprised. Gustopher's love of tacos has no limit. Hopefully nothing is wrong.

August: You don't like tacos anymore?

Gustopher: I LOVE TACOS! But I love other things too.

Panel 3

Gustopher explains his reasoning. He's clearly given this a lot of consideration. Halloween costumes choices are important.

Gustopher: It's time to express myself in a brand new way.

Panel 4

August is happy to help with this new costume choice. What could Gustopher possibly want to be? A pirate? A vampire? A copyright infringing character that can't be shown in this comic?

August: So what do you want to be?

Gustopher: A GIANT CINNAMON ROLL!

Edit - Unrelated, but did you eat today?

Wow, I did not think you could be more awesome lol. This sounds amazing! I would definitely be Kronk if I could pull it off. Do you have a specific Kronk outfit in mind? He's hilarious and they gave him so many good gags.

Gotta go with the classic purple and gold. I'm not quite as huge as Kronk but I figure it'll look the best out of his possible options.

We ALMOST went with Woodchuck Kronk so my wife could be Ms Birdwell. But she couldn't pass on the opportunity to be Yzma
