Rachel is delighted as she greets guests in elaborate costumes. One woman is dressed as Mother Goose with a goose, another as a black cat or witch.

RACHEL: "Oh wow! You must be Mother Goose and the Swan Princess!"

The party continues with various costumed guests including ducks, someone bobbing for apples incorrectly, someone in a red riding hood costume with a wolf, and someone in a top hat.

RACHEL: "Ducks! You can't bob for apples like that!"

PARTY GUEST: "It's Little Red Riding Chicken and the big bad wolf!"

The idea was that she was returning home from waitressing on the weekend and that she’d spent all day dressed like a cat and nobody had any idea why. In the middle panel you can see my old dog, Violet. She’s long dead now. In the bottom panel, you can see Pharoah, my golden pheasant cock, in front of the pumpkin. A weasel later ate him. I really loved those little pheasants.
