Date: 1 Nov 2004 21:41 (UTC)I remember reading about The Great Pumpkin and halloween in Snoopy comics in the 70s, but more as a cultural curiosity type thing. "that's something quaint that americans do".
the first time I remember seeing a halloween display and being urged to "buy candy" was probably the mid 80s. I remember seeing Mr T. (A Team) halloween "swag bags" for collecting the halloween loot in the supermarket at the time and thinking that the supermarket owner had lost his marbles. The poodleboy was very much into Mr T at the time (as many a 7 year old lad was), which is probably why it stuck in my memory. ;-)
