A lot of my British friends think you can only wear spooky, ghastly clothing. I grew up with the American tradition that you could dress up as ANYTHING, as long as it would get you a big bag full of candy when you went door-to-door trick-or-treating. I much prefer that latter version and, to be honest, some of the older kids' scary costumes genuinely frightened me, and I don't get very excited about scaring kiddies. My costumes have included a chicken, a cat, a mouse, a painter, a witch, a pirate, and, uh, Ronald Regan. (Okay, that was a little scary.) \\r\n\\r\nTomorrow my friend and \u003Ci>Jampires\u003C/i> co-author \u003Ca href=\"https://twitter.com/davidoconnell\">David O'Connell\u003C/a> and I will be painting Jampires on the windows at Gosh Comics! Come get your books and comics and we can sign and doodle them for you.
