The little cat in the bottom right-hand corner is as confused as we are by this truly bizarre Halloween card from 1908 that features two pumpkins smooching. The card - currently in our Mid-Manhattan Picture Collection - concludes our month of Halloween-related Caturdays with a big dose of weirdness (see Halloween Caturdays one, two, and three). The snuggling squash card was originally sent on Oct. 28, 1908 to East 166th Street in NYC. Happy Halloween, happy Caturday and happy October!
