Humphrey Channels Chevy

Boo!
It was tough to top some of Humph's previous Halloween disguises (this, and this). This year's costume choice came after a lot of contemplation.
He really wanted to be a "casino capitalist," in homage to (Macmaster's own) Henry Giroux's book, Zombie Politics in an Age of Casino Capitalism, but he had a bit of trouble visualizing that. He could have pulled out his old JR Ewing disguise (yes, he has one!).
He thought and thought. And thought.
Then, he realized that Land Shark, a 1970s Chevy Chase SNL character might do the trick. After all, it was a chilling statement on the perils of succumbing to greed and consumerism! The victims would typically answer the door in hopes of receiving a candy-gram, only to be devoured by Chase's land shark.

Not Ready for Prime Time Canine: Humphrey channels Chevy Chase!
For anyone interested in Giroux's thesis, have a listen below to his interview with Bill Moyers...
