Holy God It's Thanksgiving
Well, happy Thanksgiving everyone (even if you aren't in the United States, you probably still have something to be thankful for). As with Halloween, I'm gathering up all the comic strips that are about the holiday. I thought that maybe there wouldn't be so many, but then I realized some things:
-Thanksgiving is totally non-secular
-It is mainly about football and eating
This makes it pretty much the most American thing ever, so when this is done, there will be nearly a hundred comics on this page since I'm updating whenever I get a few minutes. Oh dear god. For the sake of time, I'm not resizing or putting the date for any of these. They're all from today, except for the classic FoxTrot which is showing today anyway.
6 Chix
A lot of them are like this: simple wishes for a happy Thanksgiving.
Blondie
I fail to see why this would be a good idea in anything but theory, but I guess some people like chocolate turkeys.
Crankshaft
Crankshaft is part of another breed: the Thanksgiving storyline. As usual, Crankshaft messed the holiday up. It wasn't anything special.
Crock
Why is the French Foreign Legion celebrating Thanksgiving? Furthermore, how do they keep eating Chester? He's a reoccurring character whose sole purpose is to get eaten. Also, if he gets eaten, he can't talk to his mother at all.
Curtis
Curtis was doing a storyline, too, but chose to do this today instead. I don't mind, it's sort of classy.
Dennis the Menace
You know what? Up yours, Dennis.
Brilliant Mind of Edison Lee
Edision Lee was also doing a storyline, but chose to take a brief segue to do this joke about how Orville likes pie. At least it's not being political.
Family Circus
Up yours, too, Billy. You fat piece of stupid.
Funky Winkerbean
The band director (Harry something or other) loves Thanksgiving because it reminds him of his former life when he was happy, unlike every other character in this strip. Then he lost his hearing, and now he's like this. Smile while you can.
Grin and Bear It
The pilgrims ate what they could so they wouldn't die, you stupid kid.
Hazel
The first of many football jokes we'll be seeing today. Some of them are even funny, if you can believe it.
Hi and Lois
Lois has that look on her face because Thurston is wearing a loin-cloth, but he doesn't really know how they work. Ditto is smiling for the same reason.
The Lockhorns
The Lockhorns celebrate even though they have nothing to be thankful for at all.
Mallard Fillmore
Mallard Fillmore, likes always, takes any sort of happiness or joy you can have on a holiday and defecates all over it. I hate you, Mallard Fillmore.
Marvin
I hope they all choke and die on their burnt turkey.
Mary Worth
Mary Worth does the bare minimum by inserting a text box in a random panel. If it's not meddling, she won't give her all, I guess.
Mutts
Mutts has been doing one of their weeks when they just have random quotes instead of jokes, ending with this odd duck. It fits, I guess, but fails to make sense.
Pajama Diaries
This strip's also been doing Thanksgiving stuff all week. This panel has nothing to do with the rest of the storyline, save that they've gotten around to celebrating the holiday.
Safe Havens
Man, her solution for everything is to turn it into something else.
Sally Forth
The entire cast of "Sally Forth" has been punished for hubris this week as they were set upon by Ted's parents instead of Sally's mother. The lesson, I guess, was that parents suck.
Todd the Dinosaur
One year I tried this, but then I realized that, even when famished, I eat very little.
Agnes
I have no idea what she's talking about because I didn't read Agnes this week. nothing against the strip, I just never sought it out.
Animal Crackers
A lot of jokes on Thanksgiving have to do with not being a turkey, as Safe Havens helped illustrate. We've barely started with them, regrettably.
Arlo and Janis
Wouldn't those have caught fire from being in an oven? Perhaps they're made of abestos or something, in which case this will not be a very happy Thanksgiving for them.
