WWW.UPANDCOMINGWEEKLY.COM OCTOBER 13-19, 2021 UCW 57 WEEKLY HOROSCOPE NEWS OF THE WEIRD by the Editors at Andrews McMeel Syndication News That Sounds LIke A Joke Remember Bernie Sanders' look at the 2021 inauguration? Cozy parka, heavy knitted gloves? You can pull off the Bernie look for Halloween, The Boston Globe reported. For just $85, partygoers can don the "Once Again Asking Costume Set" from Dolls Kill. It includes the coat, mittens and surgical mask. Sen. Sanders' office commented: "If fans of Sen. Sanders' mittens are looking for a real scare this Halloween, they should see how hard the wealthy and world's biggest corporations are fighting to stop Congress from finally addressing the long- neglected needs of the working class," said a spokesperson. Family Values As a man pumped gas in St. Louis, a woman approached and said she and her son needed a ride to her mother's house. He agreed, KSDK-TV reported, but when they arrived at the home, the woman reportedly grabbed the keys from the ignition, and her 11-year-old started pistol-whipping him in the head. The woman then dragged the victim out of his car and sped away with her son. Police are still looking for the carjacker. Inexplicable At a penguin colony near Si- monstown, South Africa, 63 en- dangered African penguins were killed by a swarm of bees, CNN reported. South African National Parks issued a statement saying that the "deaths occurred sud- denly sometime between Thursday afternoon and Friday morning." Examinations revealed that "all the penguins had multiple bee stings," many of which were around the birds' eyes, which one expert called a "fluke." Least Competent Criminal Timothy Wolfe of Lake City, Flor- ida, arrived at the Lake City Chrys- ler Dodge Jeep dealership to buy a new car, WTLV-TV reported. And, bonus, he had a trade-in. But when employees checked the VIN of the trade, they found it was a car that had been stolen from that dealership just a few days earlier. Police were called, and Wolfe ad- mitted to the theft, which had been captured on a surveillance camera. He was charged with grand theft and dealing in stolen property, among other crimes. Question: I saw that Netflix will stream a fourth and final season of "Manifest." It has been the #1 most streamed show for months, and when it wasn't, "Manifest" ranked very high. Do you think Netflix will order more seasons? — Fred Matt Roush: Let's take them at their word that the fourth season of 20 episodes (likely to be pre- sented in more than one batch) will be the end of the road for "Manifest," and fans should see this as a win that they'll get some closure to the story, even if at an accelerated pace. I always found it a bit hubristic for the show's creators to tout a six-season plan when working within a genre that is proving to be increasingly diffi- cult to succeed on network TV. e good news is that they'll have time to shape a proper finish to this premise. Of course, there is precedence with "Lucifer," which Netflix rescued from cancellation and ended up producing a sixth and final season after announc- ing that the fifth would be the last. But given the complexity of the deal-making involved in bring- ing "Manifest" back to life, I'd be surprised if Netflix kept it going beyond what has already been announced.
