Is Mrs Olsen the only one that nods off at that time?

chicken has more Tryptophan than turkey and doesn’t cause people to take naps. Maybe you ate too much?

What’s with the kids face in the second panel? To me he looks like Dopey. Is it an homage?

tryptophan, what a joke

@tdidog: he’s imaging the tired saggy eyes prelude to a turkey nap. That’s how us geezers look when we a about into our daily snooze

In today’s believe-anything-and-doubt-everything-else-aggressively world, I’ve seen some suggestions that tryptophan is not quite the sedative we’ve come to think it is. No duh. I’m sure there’s tryptophan in turkey, and I’m sure people get a little groggy after the holidays. And maybe tryptophan is complicit, but Jef the Dietician suspects that tryptophan is going to have to get in the blame line far behind sugar crashes and overeating in general.

I may be right, I may be wrong. I may be employing a diversion tactic so I won’t get questioned too harshly for choosing 3rd-hour math, and just how early in the day does Mrs. Olsen get into her turkey sandwich, anyway? I think the Jef the Cartoonist must have been napping.

Cod help her if she had!

Unless it’s been in the freezer, Thanksgiving turkey is probably nearing the end of its edible lifespan.
