Best Of All, We Wait For Halloween

What better subject for a Halloween countdown than a calendar—especially when it's festooned with seasonal art? The Golden Magazine for Boys and Girls was always a source of art that was, one might say, pure gold. This October 1964 calendar page is no exception with art by Golden favorite Richard Scarry, springing off the rage for space travel and exploration during that era. The clever black cat is wasting no time with an old-fashioned broom, zooming past the old-fashioned owl through the October sky. This priceless vintage art is part of the Countdown to Halloween 2015 blogathon. Come back all through October for more fun Halloweena-ana.
