I grew up reading Buster, which among other things offered a window into British customs relating to 5th November. Where we had bonfires and fireworks for Hallowe'en (and still have the fireworks, though bonfires are on the wane), they had them for Guy Fawkes Night, though the penny-for-the-guy custom is apparently on the wane, with the focus shifting from the sectarian history to the lightshow.

Odysseus: We're ignoring most of our problems.
Ares: I know.
Odysseus: We also know it's an unhealthy coping mechanism?
Ares: We're ignoring that fact as well.
