Photo of the Day: Deli Skelly

Over the last three decades or so, I’ve become accustomed to Halloween décor popping up all over the place—not just lawns outside homes but also businesses. But the other day was the first time I saw this specimen on a bench outside a longtime landmark, an eatery in my hometown.

Seeing it, I was struck with a thought that I’m sure the establishment’s owners would have groaned to know about: Did this fellow assume his current state suddenly, after sampling the food inside?
