CCC 37 - Make Me Pretty

Do I have some kind of infatuation with drawing party scenes? No, but I might as well. The joke here, in case it whooshed right over your head, is that in virtually every form of media, whenever a big dumb jock tells our outcast protagonist that he should remember to wear a costume to a party, it turns out that it's NOT a costume party at all and our hero gets all embarassed (except for the really nice girl who understands him and comforts him and falls in love with him--oops, I'm giving away CanCopCon plot points), and this time it just turned out that it's a costume party.

The jock in the first panel is Thaddeus Rexington, a fifth-string quarterback for the Midstate Mugginses. He wears his football gear at all times, and his entire character is basically a nod to Kevin from Daria.

A challenge: How many of the costumes in this party can you recognize? If anyone posts all seven costumes on the forums, I'll feature them in a CanCopCon strip done in full color. How's that for incentive?
