Thanksgiving. What else were we going to write about this week? Thanksgiving is great. The family gets together, and who doesn’t love family? Then we carve the turkey, and who doesn’t love turkey? Besides me? I also don’t love sweet potatoes with marshmallows, roasted carrots or brussel sprouts, but that’s another story. By the way, just so you don’t think I’m a total curmudgeon, I’m good with stuffing, orange-cranberry relish, gravy and pies. Ahhh, the holiday spirit.

In celebration, we decided to devote both comics to this beloved day. I mean, who hasn’t fallen asleep after stuffing themselves on cheese, crackers, wine and the Detroit Lions. Why are the Detroit Lions on every single Thanksgiving at 12:00 Eastern? Is it in the Bible? “Thou shalt watch 3 hours of possibly the worst team in football get trounced every year.” I must have missed that passage. What happens when you fall asleep in front of the family? Some people leave you alone. But others, armed with cell-phone cameras, are all too eager to embarrass the hell out of you. And that was the inspiration for our non-poster comic this week.

The inspiration for the poster? Well duh, that was Thanksgiving itself. And this year, we are giving ourselves a present by writing a much shorter blog, ‘cause guess what, the doorbell is ringing, the Lions game is starting and here comes family…

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours,

Andy and John
