Do you know who these characters are?
We don’t celebrate Halloween in Australia, but I wanted to do a special comic for the holiday, to suck up to for my readers from the USA to enjoy.
Halloween is a very foreign idea to us aussies and even though we do celebrate and embrace Halloween, we often decorate our offices & shops – mainly to try to cash in on it.
Halloween presents us with a great opportunity to make more sales by using the holiday to provide novelty themes and ‘holiday” specials on a vast range of products.
Yes, Halloween in Australia has all the retail angles covered, but lacks the love that I know so many Americans have for it.
Although, kind of in the spirit of things, we in Brisbane recently had our annual Zombie Walk.
Check out some pictures on flickr here and here.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Happy Halloween Dude!
Its much the same RE Halloween in the UK here. I must confess though, ive felt more Halloweeny this year being on Twitter seeing how the US guys are getting into it 🙂

Truly makes me sad that Aussies know not the true passion that Halloween evokes.
It’s all good. You americans don’t know the true passion that a meat pie, a beer and the Boxing Day cricket match evokes in us Aussies.
So, it all evens out. 😛
mmm, meat pie. i had some the other day, but the meat wasn’t minced. it ruined the pie for me
After learning about vegemite, I have to question your culinary decisions 😀
Vegemite is the bomb-diggity
What about Cheesymite?
Cheesymight is an abomination. A blight on society. Please treat it as such from now on.
Did you know that Vegemite was originally intended to be used as an axle grease? True fact. Instead we eat it. That is how tough Aussies are – we eat axlegrease!
heh, i read the alt-text on the comic. that’s impossible! how could one fit all that info into one tweet?!
that zombie walk looks interesting. i don’t think we do anything Halloween-like here in Sydney. if we do, i obviously don’t know anything about it.
Well, if you ever figure it out, the prize is waiting. It is an autographed photo of Bruce Samazan.

This cartoon is the coolest! Great colors too 🙂
Thanks! When I drew it, I actually had thought that it may be the Spacepops kids inside those costumes. Weird.
LOL!
