These come from old Charlie Brown TV specials. The candy apples line comes from "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" and is spoken (in the movie) by Sally (Charlie's sister) after missing Halloween because Charlie convinced her to sit in a pumpkin patch all night waiting for the Great Pumpkin. The entire quote is:
"I was robbed! I spent the whole night waiting for the Great Pumpkin, when I could have been out for tricks or treats. Halloween is over, and I missed it! You blockhead. You kept me up all night waiting for the Great Pumpkin, and all that came was a beagle. I didn't get a chance to go out for tricks or treats. And it was all your fault. I'll sue! What a fool I was! I could have had candy apples and gum and cookies and money and all sorts of things, but no, I had to listen to you. You blockhead. What a fool I was. Trick or treats come only once a year. And I missed it by sitting in a pumpkin patch with a blockhead. YOU OWE ME RESTITUTION!"
What I want to know is whether Blockhead the artist named himself after this nickname for Charlie Brown, or did he just realize the connection after he already came up with the name.
